Question
After three days of intravenous drip last week, the pus on the tonsils almost disappeared. Following two days of taking Pudilin oral liquid, the symptoms seemed to have eased, and the body temperature returned to normal. However, worried about potential side effects from overusing antibiotics, the child’s lips appeared slightly red and swollen, and there was slight nasal congestion. Today’s temperature reading was 37.1 degrees, and I am concerned whether the illness has recurred. I seek medical guidance.
Answer
The child’s condition originated from an unresolved tonsillitis, which usually causes symptoms such as coughing or nasal congestion. It is recommended to first ensure adequate rest and adopt a diet that is light, mild, and easy to digest. At the same time, it is suggested to actively use medication for treatment, such as taking amoxicillin capsules and wind-cold cold medicine capsules, as well as Platycodon root infusion, to observe the treatment effect. Wishing for the child’s health to recover soon.
