Question

What should I do about my baby’s acute tonsillitis?

Answer

Based on the examination results and description, it is considered viral infection-induced tonsillitis. It is recommended to drink plenty of water and avoid spicy foods. Intravenous penicillin and ribavirin injection, oral nux vomica tablets, and Jin Yin Hua granules should be taken. If the inflammation is not high, anti-inflammatory treatment may not be necessary. It is necessary to check for viral infections. If high fever persists, it is also necessary to investigate whether the child has exanthema subitum or similar conditions. The above recommendations are for the question “Doctor! My 4-year-old 7-month-old child” and are hoped to be helpful. Wishing you good health!
