High fever and sore throat for a month, how to treat

Patient's question:

I have had intermittent low-grade fever and sore throat for almost a month. Previously, I took some fever-reducing and anti-inflammatory medicine, which helped for a few days, but then the fever returned. This time, when I went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor recommended a blood test, and the results showed a significant increase in white blood cells and neutrophils. The doctor said that for now, it could only be attributed to tonsillar abscess. I'm worried it might be something else.

Doctor's answer:

Based on the symptoms you described, it is likely that your physical fitness is average, and your immunity has declined. The chronic tonsillitis has led to tonsillar abscess, resulting in throat pain and discomfort. It is recommended to take oral Roxithromycin tablets, which are suitable for tonsillitis and pharyngitis caused by Streptococcus pyogenes, sinusitis, otitis media, acute bronchitis, acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis, pneumonia caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae or Chlamydophila pneumoniae, urethritis and cervicitis caused by Chlamydia trachomatis, and skin and soft tissue infections caused by sensitive bacteria.
