Question
After my child’s cold has cleared up, I noticed two small white spots on their tonsils. During naptime, they breathe through their mouth due to nasal congestion. I took them to the ear, nose, and throat department of the hospital, and they were diagnosed with adenoid hypertrophy and rhinitis. We’ve been treating them with ceftriaxone, azithromycin oral solution, and ambroxol oral solution, but there has been no improvement, and the white spots are still present.
Answer
This situation may indicate that the infection has not been completely eradicated or that the medication is not symptomatic . It is recommended to undergo a detailed examination in the hospital’s internal medicine department, including bacterial secretion culture, for more accurate medication treatment. Adenoid hypertrophy may have a significant impact on a child’s health, and it is advised for parents to take their child to a specialist for follow-up consultation and treatment under medical guidance. At the same time, parents should pay attention to their child’s diet and daily life to aid in their early recovery.
