Patient's question:
Main symptoms at three years old: Tonsillitis on both sides, cough with phlegm, high fever, onset time: Already for three days. Test results: Blood test report shows: Low white blood cell count, neutrophil count, neutrophil percentage, red blood cell distribution width, mean corpuscular volume. High lymphocyte percentage, high platelet distribution width. Other tests are normal. Previous treatment and effectiveness: Previously used Amoxicillin, Chen Gong Zai Xin for anti-inflammatory, and Nimesulide for fever reduction, but the fever always comes back up after it goes down. Went for blood tests this morning. The doctor said there's some bloating in the stomach and prescribed Acyclovir dispersible tablets and Dimethicone tablets. In addition to the tonsillitis syrup. Hello doctor, do these medications have anti-inflammatory effects? What is the current condition of my daughter?Doctor's answer:
From your description, it is highly likely that the child's condition is caused by a viral infection, so the use of acyclovir for antiviral treatment is necessary. Amoxicillin is not needed. As for Chen Gong Zai Xin, it is used for fever reduction. The ibuprofen and nimesulide in it are both antipyretic and analgesic drugs, belonging to the same two categories. It is not recommended to use them together. Viral infections are generally self-limiting, with a course of about one week. Bloating and gas suggest poor digestion, and you can give the child Lactobacillus, Lactase, and Pepsin Oral Solution to improve absorption. It is recommended to add Liang Xue Pian (Carbocisteine Tablets) for cooling blood.
