Question
My child has tonsillitis causing high fever. Even after taking fever-reducing medication, the fever returns once the medication wears off. On the third day of examination, small blisters were found on the tonsils, and the doctor prescribed antibiotics and ribavirin effervescent tablets for treatment, but the white blood cell count did not increase abnormally.
Answer
Treatment suggestions for tonsillitis can consider traditional Chinese medicine, using herbs such as chrysanthemum flowers, soybean root, dandelion, Platycodon grandiflorus, Isatis root, licorice, and Ophiopogon japonicus to make a decoction for drinking, which can help alleviate symptoms. At the same time, strengthening physical exercise and improving immunity can effectively prevent the occurrence of tonsillitis. It is recommended to undergo treatment under the guidance of a professional physician and to pay attention to observing the child’s physical condition.
