Question
A 23-year-old male has been experiencing a fever since March 27th, with a body temperature of 38.4 degrees. He has received intravenous fluid therapy twice at a community hospital, which temporarily relieved the fever, but he has since developed fever symptoms again and is seeking advice on how to continue treatment.
Answer
Based on the patient’s medical history and age, the current diagnosis is purulent tonsillitis. It is recommended to enhance anti-inflammatory treatment, as purulent tonsillitis is a severe infection. It is advised to use a sufficient amount of antibiotics, particularly penicillin-class antibiotics, to effectively control the infection.
