Patient's question:
My daughter is 5 years old. Four days ago, she had a fever of over 38.5 degrees due to tonsillitis. She was feverish for four days, and last night it was still high fever. Today, she had a blood test at the hospital, and the doctor said the inflammation wasn't too severe, then prescribed two more days of medication. However, even after the injection, her fever didn't go down. The medications she was given were ribavirin, ceftriaxone, and amoxicillin sodium/sulbactam sodium. I don't know what to do. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
The tonsils are the body's autoimmune organs, serving as the second line of defense when the body is invaded by viruses and cells. Most chronic tonsillitis is caused by untreated acute tonsillitis. In daily life, it is important to avoid spicy and irritating foods, quit smoking and alcohol, engage in more activities, enhance physical fitness, and reduce resistance. If there is frequent inflammation and infection, surgical treatment can be considered. However, surgery can easily lead to upper respiratory infections. If there are no contraindications, harsh treatment can be considered.
