Question
A 29-year-old female adult has had frequent tonsillitis symptoms in the past, but it has not recurred for many years. Recently, she has developed a slight fever, accompanied by tonsillitis pain, inflammation, and purulent traces. She has visited a local medical unit and been advised to receive two injections of medication daily for a continuous week. She inquires whether it can be changed to oral medication treatment. Past treatment experience and effectiveness: She did not take the condition seriously as a child, now seeks a solution, and asks if there are any interfering factors.
Answer
For cough caused by tonsillitis, medication can effectively control the condition and symptoms in the short term, but long-term reliance on medication is not an ideal approach as it may lead to bacterial resistance to the drugs. Regular use of medication can promote bacterial mutations, eventually rendering the medication ineffective. In such cases, it is recommended to seek professional medical advice to obtain the best solution.
