Patient's question:
Fever after intravenous fluids subsided but hasn't returned for 8 days. The doctor said it's still necessary to receive 15 more days of intravenous fluids. Test results: Blood count is normal. Tonsils are swollen. Fever returned after intravenous fluids, do I really need to receive 15 more days?Doctor's answer:
For the treatment of tonsillitis, penicillin is first chosen to implement the anti-inflammatory process, which generally lasts about seven days. Therefore, it is necessary to follow the prescribed course of treatment to prevent recurring episodes of the disease. For individuals with a penicillin allergy, alternatives such as azithromycin or ceftriaxone sodium can be used for anti-inflammatory treatment. Additionally, traditional Chinese medicine formulations that clear heat and detoxify, such as Shuanghuanglian or Qingkailin, can be used concurrently. The above advice is for the question "How can I improve after 8 days of tonsillitis treatment with fluids, which hasn't been effective?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
