Patient's question:
I have taken many medications but haven't gotten better. I'm afraid of the side effects, so I stopped taking the medicine. When the baby sleeps, his nose is blocked by dry mucus, and he opens his mouth to breathe. I don't know what to do? A few months ago, he had a fever. The treatment and outcome at that time: the doctor said it was tonsillitis...Doctor's answer:
Pharyngitis caused by factors such as excessive drinking, external cold wind, and poor immunity. If the treatment is not effective, it is recommended to administer intravenous drip, using cephalosporin antibiotics, and drink more water. Monitor the temperature data to prevent fever. Recurrent pharyngitis is a manifestation of poor immune function, and boosting the immune system is a priority. The throat is a critical checkpoint in the respiratory system. A child's weak immunity is also related to picky eating, congenital deficiencies, and inadequate postnatal care (poor upbringing). Therefore, in addition to administering gamma globulin to boost immunity, it is also necessary to enhance daily care. When the child sweats, pay attention to promptly drying the sweat and adjusting clothing appropriately to prevent overcooling or overheating. Of course, if the child's pharyngitis frequently occurs and severely affects other organs, such as the kidneys, it is necessary to have the tonsils removed.
