Question
My child has tonsillitis with a high fever, which subsided after taking medication. They have previously had inflammation and fever symptoms that subsided after taking medication. I would like to know if it is necessary to undergo H1N1 testing, as well as how to prevent and maintain health on a daily basis.
Answer
- Dress warmly to prevent colds. 2. Boil 3-5 slices of ginger and a spoonful of brown sugar in water for 15 minutes, drink it hot, and consume 2-3 times a day. 3. Soak your feet in warm water, ideally with a small handful of mugwort, boiled for 10-15 minutes before soaking, or use one-fourth of mugwort twigs, remove the bark, sprinkle the mugwort fibers into a bucket, add hot water and soak for several minutes before refilling with water until you sweat all over. 4. For those with excessive mucus, boil 3-5 slices of ginger and 6-8 cloves of garlic in water for 15 minutes, then pour into a cup for nasal steaming before drinking, and drink plenty of warm water; this method is quite effective. 5. Drink 6-8 cups of warm water daily when feverish, urinate frequently, which can alleviate fever symptoms. 6. Consume warm foods such as braised mutton or spicy lamb hotpot, eat continuously for two days, drink plenty of water to expel body dampness. 7. Ensure adequate sleep, try to go to bed early and sleep more, cover yourself with more blankets while sleeping to induce a slight sweat; this is more effective. For daily care, take a small spoonful of Kyoto Nian Cang Honey Syrup Lozenges every hour.
