Patient's question:
Coughed for two weeks, throat inflammation, high fever for three days. Previous treatment and effectiveness: Infusion for four days, taking anti-inflammatory drugs, doing atomization and microwave. What kind of assistance is needed: The condition keeps fluctuating, a bit of cough, throat inflammation...Doctor's answer:
Based on these symptoms of the child, it is preliminarily suspected that the child may have a high possibility of suffering from sinusitis and pharyngitis! I suggest you try saline nasal irrigation for the child. Using physiological saline to clean the nasal cavity, if you have a fixed-pressure spray nasal rinse device, you can bring the saline to the posterior nasal cavity and sinus areas, more thoroughly and effectively cleaning the entire nasal cavity, and promptly removing allergens and pathogenic bacteria from the nasal cavity to prevent them from accumulating and attacking the nasal mucosa, completely eliminating edema, quickly opening the sinus openings, and slowly rinsing out the accumulated fluid in the sinuses, which is equivalent to a slow drainage of a surgical strike. This is a physical therapy, without medication, safe, and non-invasive, but the effect is definitely not as fast as taking medicine, it will be much slower, and you need to be patient. It can continuously improve the self-detoxification function of the nasal cavity, so that in the future when allergens enter the nasal cavity, the body can respond on its own. Regular maintenance can also prevent recurrence.Treatment for pharyngitis: It is recommended to try treating with traditional Chinese medicine: Pharyngitis should be treated by a doctor based on the cause with targeted measures. Local symptomatic treatment can use Chinese patent medicines such as Liyanling, Caosonghua lozenges, and Bao'an powder, which can be taken together with tea: equal parts of honeysuckle, Chinese oats, hibiscus, and licorice, steeped in hot water and taken frequently. Clear Throat Drink: 50 grams each of plum meat, licorice, sand sage, Chinese oats, and Platycodon root, crushed and mixed, taken 3 times a day, with 15 grams per dose, steeped in boiling water and consumed.
