Patient's question:
My son is 5 years old this year. He always wakes up from sleep with difficulty breathing and has severe tonsillitis. He has taken Rhenium, Cetylpirinate Hydrochloride Syrup, and anti-inflammatory drugs, but it hasn't improved. What anti-inflammatory medicine should he take?Doctor's answer:
Pay attention to early diagnosis of sleep apnea during nighttime sleep:1. Pay attention to early diagnosis of sleep apnea during nighttime sleep.
2. Based on your condition, at 5 years old, you often wake up from sleep due to suffocation, with severe tonsillitis. You have taken Rhenex Suspension and Cetirizine Syrup, and received anti-inflammatory treatments, but the symptoms have not improved. This suggests that sleep apnea may be occurring during the night, causing choking and suffocation, with the likely cause being enlarged tonsils and adenoids leading to airway obstruction.
3. It is recommended to undergo tonsil/adenoid surgery at a higher-level hospital.
