Question
Mr. Zhou’s child has been coughing for a week and there has been no improvement after taking medication. He has previously sought medical attention at a community clinic, where he has been diagnosed with chronic tonsillitis and often requires intravenous treatment. He is seeking better treatment or preventive methods.
Answer
Acute purulent tonsillitis is prone to cause high fever and cough in children, usually caused by bacterial infection. Treatment can be combined with regional therapy to enhance efficacy. It is recommended to administer penicillin intravenous injection, use a double-batch lozenge spray externally on the inflamed area, maintain good oral hygiene, and drink plenty of warm water, avoiding spicy and irritating foods.
