Question
A 2-month-old baby has been experiencing cough symptoms since March 25th, with approximately 4 coughs each time, accompanied by a whistling sound during breathing. Under treatment at the local People’s Hospital, intravenous injections and X-ray imaging were administered, leading to a diagnosis of pediatric pneumonia and an arrangement for hospitalization. During the hospital stay, medications such as aminophylline injections, azithromycin, cefazolin sodium, and methylprednisolone injections were used, but the cough and abnormal breathing sounds have not completely disappeared. The baby’s breathing sounds become more noticeable when activity levels increase. How can the baby be discharged from the hospital and continue medication treatment at home? The baby has been hospitalized for nearly a week. What medication should be taken for the cough to improve?
Answer
Tonsillitis is caused by the accumulation of bacteria and secretions in the tonsil crypts. These bacteria continuously release toxins and spread throughout the body through the vascular network surrounding the glands. Treatment typically includes strengthening physical health and immunity. For acute tonsillitis, adequate treatment is required. In clinical treatment, I have found that using SlowEase Lozenges is effective for treating tonsillitis. Additionally, using anti-inflammatory drugs such as amoxicillin can also be beneficial.
