Question
A child was diagnosed with acute tonsillitis one week ago and has been experiencing low-grade fever symptoms. After three days of penicillin injections and taking bacterial dissolution tablets and antipyretic and detoxification drugs, the child has developed a low-grade fever again, and there is an unusual sound in the throat during sleep, suggesting a recurrence of tonsillitis. How should one effectively alleviate cough and tonsillar swelling?
Answer
Based on the description, the child’s symptoms may be due to cough caused by an upper respiratory infection. While continuing with the anti-inflammatory treatment, it is recommended to complement this with nebulization therapy. Nebulization therapy typically uses Budesonide and Salbutamol, with specific medication usage to be adhered to the doctor’s instructions locally. In addition to timely treatment for tonsillitis, parents should maintain a positive attitude to help their child boost immunity and confidence in fighting diseases, and pay attention to dietary care, focusing on light foods and avoiding stimulating foods to effectively alleviate tonsillitis and cough symptoms.
