Patient's question:
What kind of assistance do you care about: I would like to ask if applying iodoform ointment exclusively would be effective for tonsillitis, and how long it would last. Would there be any side effects? Is it necessary to use other medications?Doctor's answer:
Iodine glycerin helps treat tonsillitis with swelling and pus, and it works very well. The side effects of iodine glycerin are not significant. Only occasional allergic reactions may occur, which can cause swelling, redness, rash, and other symptoms at the application sites on mucous membranes and skin. If any reaction occurs, stop using the medication immediately. Do not ingest it by mistake.Advice: Try it for 3 to 5 days. If it doesn’t work, it may be due to sensitivity to the medication. The duration of effect for iodine glycerin is not long. Your second bout of tonsillitis in two years has nothing to do with using iodine glycerin the first time—it’s just that you’ve been taking good care of yourself. There’s no need to split other medications. Drink more water regularly and take oral anti-inflammatory and antiviral drugs.
