Question
My child has had recurrent tonsillitis for the past two years, and each time it flares up, it causes a high fever. I’m really worried that his body might be damaged this way. What medication should I give him for tonsillitis?
Answer
In this situation, it’s important to carefully check routine blood test (blood routine) to confirm if the infection is bacterial. If it’s bacterial, you can treat it with ceftriaxone in combination with red mold antibiotics. Also, be mindful of using short-term corticosteroids to control body temperature. In addition to treating the tonsillitis symptomatically, patients need to pay attention to nursing care, such as proper diet and maintaining a cheerful mood. At the same time, patients should consider visiting a top-tier hospital for diagnosis to ensure a good treatment outcome.
