Question

Intermittent low-grade fever and sore throat for a month, recurring episodes, taking antipyretic and anti-inflammatory drugs can only temporarily alleviate the symptoms, worried it might be another disease.

Answer

Based on the blood test results, tonsillitis abscess may be the cause of the persistent sore throat. It is recommended to use rifampin for the treatment of pharyngitis and tonsillitis caused by Streptococcus pyogenes. This is usually applicable to infections caused by sensitive bacteria, such as sinusitis, otitis media, bronchitis, and pneumonia. Additionally, it is also suitable for urethritis and cervicitis caused by Chlamydia trachomatis, as well as skin and soft tissue infections. Follow your doctor’s advice, and pay attention to rest and strengthening your immune system.
