Question
My son is 12 years old, and his tonsillitis has not improved after five consecutive IV treatments. What medications should he take? Thank you. Previous treatment and effectiveness: He has never had this disease before. Desired assistance: Since he has already had five rounds of IV therapy, I would like to stop the IVs and switch to oral medications. What should he take?
Answer
In this situation, continuing with IV therapy while also taking oral medications may not be the most effective approach. Based on your description, if your child’s tonsillitis frequently recurs, consider surgery to remove the tonsils. If it is an occasional occurrence, it may be better to allow the child to recover naturally under the guidance of a local doctor. Wishing your child a healthy growth!
