Question
Since the Spring Festival. Sore throat, swollen tonsils, and enlargement. How should it be treated?
Answer
The first choice of antibiotic is penicillin, and those allergic to penicillin can choose erythromycin, lincomycin, and other alternatives. For those with high fever, headache, and general body aches, analgesics such as aspirin can be used. If there is no improvement in the condition after 2-3 days of treatment, consider whether there is a viral or other bacterial infection and switch to antiviral drugs, sensitive antibiotics, or sulfonamide drugs. Adrenal cortical hormones such as prednisone and dexamethasone can be used as appropriate.
