Question
An 11-year-old child has tonsillitis and has not developed a fever. They have been using Jun’erqing and Pediculan Oral Liquid for 4 days, but the symptoms have not improved, so Jinjiao Granules were added to enhance the efficacy. The effectiveness of using Pediculan Oral Liquid and Jinjiao Granules individually was not clear. Would like to inquire whether Pediculan Oral Liquid and Jinjiao Granules can be used together to improve the therapeutic effect?
Answer
Pediculan Oral Liquid and Jinjiao Granules both have the function of clearing heat and detoxifying. They can be used simultaneously. If the tonsillitis symptoms persist, it indicates a more severe infection, which may require antibiotic treatment such as penicillin or cephalosporin antibiotics, in combination with Pediculan Oral Liquid or Jinjiao Granules. At the same time, it is important to ensure that the child drinks plenty of water and avoids consuming spicy or irritating food.
