Patient's question:
Previous treatment and outcomes: Anti-infection treatment for 2 days showed no effect, test results: white blood cells 120,000. What kind of assistance is needed: Hello, in this case, how long is the treatment duration?Doctor's answer:
Diagnosed with purulent tonsillitis and pulmonary infection, it is necessary to receive standard anti-infection treatment. Hospitalization may be required if necessary. The treatment course is generally 5 to 7 days. If the blood count improves, clinical symptoms stabilize, and a follow-up chest X-ray shows partial improvement, oral antibiotics can be administered.It is recommended to consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner while using Western medicine and take some traditional Chinese herbal remedies for treatment. Integrating both Eastern and Western treatments can yield better results.
Antibiotic treatment requires a sufficient course of therapy. A follow-up chest X-ray should be taken 5 days after starting the treatment.
Lifestyle care: Drink plenty of water, get adequate rest, and maintain a light diet. Avoid spicy, stimulating, and harsh foods.
