Patient's question:
Three days ago, I started having a fever. I took fever-reducing medicine, and the fever went away, but it starts again every night at 12:00. The baby says their throat hurts, and they snore a bit when sleeping. At the big hospital, the doctor just looked but didn’t order any tests. They used Cefalexin and Ribavirin, but the fever still comes back. Should I be worried about avian flu? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
It may be caused by tonsillitis, and the main treatment is with antibiotics. The medication should be taken in sufficient dosage and duration. Some traditional Chinese medicine oral medications that clear heat and detoxify, as well as alleviate symptoms, can be used as adjunctive therapy. Avoid spicy, alcoholic, and cold foods that are irritating. If the effect is not good, hospitalization for tonsillectomy may be necessary.Children's ear, nose, and throat diseases can cause significant harm to patients. It is recommended that patients seek timely treatment at a specialized hospital under the guidance of a doctor. Drinking more water and paying attention to dietary issues can be beneficial in daily life. We hope the child can recover as soon as possible!
