Question
The baby has tonsillitis with a high fever reaching 39 degrees, which then subsided and recurred with low fever around 35 degrees. The baby cries and refuses to drink water. In the past, the baby was treated with pediatric amoxicillin and Houtong powder, and received fever-reducing injections. I would like to know the possible causes and treatment methods.
Answer
Tonsillitis is caused by the accumulation of bacteria and secretions in the tonsils. These accumulated bacteria continuously release toxins and spread throughout the body through the surrounding vascular network. It is recommended to enhance physical fitness and immunity, and to fully treat acute tonsillitis. In clinical treatment, I have found that using Manyan Shuqing granules for tonsillitis is effective, along with anti-inflammatory medications such as amoxicillin.
