Patient's question:
The child has only been born for a few days, and recently, for some reason, they have been scratching their ears frequently. What should I do if the child, who is 15 months old, has high fever and convulsions?Doctor's answer:
Hello, acute tonsillitis. During the acute phase of chronic tonsillitis, antibiotic treatment is the primary approach, with medication dosages and duration being sufficient. Some oral traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) herbs that clear heat and detoxify, as well as alleviate symptoms, can be used as adjunctive therapy. Regular physical exercise is recommended to enhance physical fitness and reduce the incidence of upper respiratory infections. Appropriate supplementation with vitamin C and other medications can also aid in treatment.Acute tonsillitis has a significant impact on children. It is advised that patients seek timely treatment from a specialized medical professional under the guidance of a doctor. Mild exercise is permissible during daily life, but attention should be paid to preventing "internal heat" (excess heat in the body). We hope the child recovers quickly!
