Patient's question:
Burning, cough, fever recurring repeatedly in winter. Previous treatment and effectiveness: Improved after three days of intravenous infusion, mainly using cephalosporin, virus inhibitor, and clindamycin. What kind of assistance is needed: How to prevent work, how to self-heal...Doctor's answer:
Tonsillitis is often caused by Streptococcus pyogenes. Additionally, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and viruses can also cause it. The onset is usually abrupt, with symptoms such as chills and high fever. Throat pain is particularly severe when swallowing dry food and may be accompanied by radiating ear pain and aching limbs. Examination reveals redness and swelling of the tonsils, with most having yellowish-white purulent secretions at the crypt openings. In cases of inflamed follicles, the symptoms are more pronounced, with submucosal yellowish-white small abscesses. The patient may have swollen and tender submandibular lymph nodes, and a decrease in white blood cells in the blood.Acute tonsillitis is contagious and should be appropriately isolated. Since this condition is often caused by Streptococcus, antibiotics or sulfonamide drugs can be used. Additionally, rest, maintaining regular bowel movements, drinking plenty of fluids, and consuming cold, liquid foods are recommended. Sufficient fever-reducing and pain-relieving medications, as well as gargle solutions, should also be provided. Most patients can recover completely within about a week.
Lifestyle care: Children with acute or chronic tonsillitis should avoid dry, spicy, fried, and other irritating foods, such as ginger, chili peppers, garlic, and fried dough sticks. During the acute phase, children should follow a light diet and consume foods rich in moisture and easy to digest, such as thin rice porridge (with salt), fruit juice, sugarcane water, water chestnut water (powder), and mung bean soup. During the chronic phase, children should eat fresh vegetables, fruits, legumes, and moisturizing foods, such as green vegetables, tomatoes, carrots, soybeans, tofu, soy milk, pears, rock sugar, honey, and lily bulb soup.
