Question
Lately, I’ve been experiencing a fever accompanied by a sore throat. Examination revealed a unilateral tonsillar enlargement and redness, with the surrounding throat also being red. There are perforations on the tonsils, and purulent fluid with an unpleasant odor is exuding. I’m asking for advice on how to treat this condition.
Answer
Acute tonsillitis often occurs after a fever and, if not treated promptly, may lead to tonsillitis. Once tonsillitis occurs, immediate antibacterial and anti-inflammatory treatment should be initiated, and amoxicillin-clavulanate potassium can be used along with Yinhuang granules for clearing heat and detoxifying.
