Question
Can an 8-month-old baby with tonsillitis take cefaclor chewable tablets?
Answer
An 8-month-old baby has been diagnosed with tonsillitis and has already been treated with cefaclor and herba houttuyniae for three days. However, symptoms including a low-grade fever and oral blisters have not completely subsided. In this situation, it is recommended to continue using cefaclor and herba houttuyniae, and consider adding antiviral medications such as ribavirin granules or shuanghuanglian to combat possible viral infections. At the same time, it is suggested to use Shuangliang Fengfeng San locally in the baby’s oral area, maintain a light diet, avoid greasy and irritating foods, and drink plenty of water to aid recovery.
