Question
How to solve a child’s swollen tonsils?
Answer
The child’s swollen tonsils may be caused by a cold-induced upper respiratory infection. A diagnosis was confirmed yesterday, and the child was prescribed 2ml of Xylazine for intramuscular injection, twice a day, along with 30mg of Ceftriaxone orally, Qingkailing oral liquid, twice a day. The child is still running a high fever, and the effectiveness of this treatment is being questioned. The tonsils are part of the body’s immune system, and inflammation and swelling can occur when feverish. Treatment suggestions include continuing the medication and adding Dongling herb tablets to help reduce fever. It usually takes a week to a month for fever to subside, and medication can accelerate the recovery process. If the body temperature exceeds 38 degrees Celsius, the child should be given fever-reducing medicine or undergo physical cooling (cooling). In addition, adequate rest and fluid intake also help to speed up recovery.
