Patient's question:
My child has been treated for acute tonsillitis for 10 days. The fever has gone down, but the throat is still red, and they have also started coughing in the past two days.Doctor's answer:
Eat soft or semi-liquid foods, which are rich in nutrition, light, easy to digest, and drink plenty of water. Avoid stimulating foods. Rinse your mouth with lukewarm salt water after meals. If oral medication is not effective, it is recommended to receive intravenous anti-inflammatory treatment under the guidance of a local doctor. If you have phlegm, you can try taking fresh bamboo juice orally. If your fever exceeds 38.5°C, you may also need to take appropriate fever-reducing medication.
