Patient's question:
I have a sore throat and a persistent high fever. When I went to the hospital, they found white pus bumps on both sides of my tonsils. I have been on two days of intravenous antibiotics, which are Mezlocillin from the penicillin group. However, while taking a shower, I noticed a very strong odor coming from my navel. I also found a white cyst-like bump in the deepest part, but it seems there is no colored liquid oozing out. It doesn't hurt. Should I go see the doctor again?Past Treatment and Effectiveness:
Diagnosis: Suppurative tonsillitis.
What Help Is Needed:
Should I go see the doctor again?
Does penicillin help with the pus bumps on my navel?
Doctor's answer:
Tonsillitis is caused by the accumulation of bacteria and secretions in the tonsil crypts. These accumulated bacteria continuously excrete toxins, which spread throughout the body via the surrounding blood vessels. General treatment aims to enhance physical fitness and immunity, and acute tonsillitis requires thorough treatment. In clinical diagnosis, I have found that Shanyan Shunlin Granules is quite effective in treating tonsillitis, along with anti-inflammatory medications. Wishing the child a speedy recovery, a healthy body, and a wonderful life.
