Patient's question:
On the 8th, I started having a fever and was taking Children's Cold Granules. By the 12th, I had a high fever and went to the hospital, where they said it was tonsillitis and needed an IV (with penicillin-like medication). However, because the child was restless, on the third day (the 14th), the needle was knocked over, and then...Doctor's answer:
Inflammation generally refers to non-specific inflammation of the palatine tonsils, which can be divided into acute tonsillitis and chronic tonsillitis.Recommendations: Most cases of acute tonsillitis are caused by bacterial or viral infections when the body's resistance is weakened. The onset is sudden, with a sore throat as the main symptom, accompanied by chills, fever, headache, and other symptoms. It is a common condition among children and young adults.
Chronic tonsillitis is caused by repeated episodes of acute tonsillitis. It manifests as dryness in the throat, a feeling of blockage, sticky secretions that are difficult to cough up, and halitosis. The recurrence of this condition can lead to other diseases, such as chronic nephritis, arthritis, and rheumatic heart disease. Therefore, active treatment is necessary.
Patients should exercise regularly to strengthen their physical fitness, maintain good oral hygiene, and promptly treat nearby diseases. A light diet is recommended, avoiding spicy and irritating foods. Smoking and alcohol should be avoided. If this condition leads to other diseases or if there are other surgical indications, surgical treatment should be considered.
