Question

A three-year-old child frequently experiences tonsillitis accompanied by high fever. Despite receiving intravenous drip treatment, the condition has not improved. In this situation, what medications should be used for treatment? What were the past treatment methods and their effectiveness? What assistance is expected?

Answer

Tonsillitis, also known as angina in traditional medicine, is a common respiratory system disease in young children. Affected children may exhibit symptoms such as red, swollen tonsils on both sides of the throat, as well as pain and dry discomfort. This condition is often seen in children over four years old and can occur throughout the year. If tonsillitis is treated appropriately, the prognosis is usually good; however, if the course of the disease is prolonged, it may lead to persistent or recurrent episodes. If not treated promptly and correctly, complications such as sinusitis, otitis media, and cervical lymphadenitis may occur. During the illness, children should ensure adequate rest, maintain good indoor air circulation, but avoid direct cold wind blowing.
