Question
Besides using penicillin and ceftriaxone, are there other medications that can treat tonsillitis? Are there any dietary restrictions to follow?
Answer
The treatment methods for tonsillitis mainly include the use of cephalosporin antibiotics or corticosteroids for intravenous treatment. For patients with mild symptoms, some traditional Chinese medicine for clearing heat and detoxification can be considered. In terms of dietary restrictions, it is recommended to avoid spicy and stimulating foods to prevent irritation of the tonsils and exacerbation of inflammation. Additionally, avoid hot or cold foods and beverages to prevent irritation of the tonsils and delay the healing process.
