Question
My child has been crying and restless recently, and the condition has not improved after being examined by the hospital. They always cough with phlegm and have a fever. How should I deal with this?
Answer
Tonsillitis is an acute upper respiratory infection that usually accompanies varying degrees of acute inflammation of the mucous membranes and lymphatic rings in the throat. Such conditions may require intravenous antibiotic treatment. If pneumonia is suspected, it is generally recommended to undergo 7 to 10 days of treatment. Since children are young, their pneumonia symptoms may not be typical, so it is advisable to actively pursue antibiotic treatment. If the condition does not worsen, continue with the treatment, which should help the child recover. I hope this answer to your question is helpful, and I wish your child a speedy recovery!
