Question
A child has suffered from pharyngitis for nearly two months, during which they have intermittently taken medication but have seen no improvement. Today, they have developed tonsillitis, with severe coughing and difficulty in expectorating phlegm. The body temperature measured is 37.21 degrees. How should tonsillitis be treated to alleviate the current condition?
Answer
Based on the described situation, if a child has tonsillitis with fever symptoms, a mere two-day course of medication may not have been effective. It is recommended to undergo focused antibiotic therapy, considering the use of cephalosporin drugs for inflammation. Tonsillitis can be severe, so it is advised to seek immediate medical treatment and follow the doctor’s guidance for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, attention should be paid to daily care, maintaining appropriate diet, and avoiding the worsening of the condition. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you, thank you.
