Question
The child is 1 year and 5 months old. They were hospitalized for five days with congenital pneumonia. After returning home less than two days later, their voice became hoarse. They went back to the hospital, and the doctor said it was tonsillitis. They underwent three days of nebulization treatment and received two injections of prednisone, but it still hasn’t improved. What should be done now, as the doctor said not to use any more anti-inflammatory medication since they were given ceftriaxone during hospitalization?
Answer
Suspect symptoms of acute pharyngitis and recommend anti-inflammatory treatment.
