Patient's question:
The child always has a light cough and there is a small white spot on the throat, which is not painful. What is the situation and how should it be treated? The blood test report shows a mixed bacterial and viral infection. Currently, the child is taking acyclovir.Doctor's answer:
The baby has tonsillitis, and those white spots are inflamed. Tonsillitis causes discomfort, which manifests as a light cough. It is recommended to take medication continuously and systematically, and you can also use many heat-clearing traditional Chinese medicines together for treatment. Tonsillar abscess usually requires a longer treatment period, so patience is needed. Additionally, maintain a light diet, avoid spicy and sweet snacks, drink more water, rinse your face with salt water, and keep your mouth clean to ensure complete recovery. Otherwise, it may recur in the future, and fever may occur during the acute phase.
