Patient's question:
A few days ago, I had a slight fever and felt a dry, painful throat, but I didn't pay much attention. Recently, I've been experiencing constant mucus discharge in my mouth. Looking in the mirror, I realized that one of my tonsils is swollen and red, with the surrounding throat area also appearing very red. More seriously, the tonsil has several holes, with pus oozing out, smelling very foul. I feel extremely uncomfortable.Past Treatment and Effects:
During the age of 13-20, my tonsils frequently inflamed, but I had no history of allergies or hereditary conditions. I didn't take it seriously.
Request for Help:
Hello, what is this issue? What kind of treatment is needed?
Doctor's answer:
Acute tonsillitis is often secondary to a fever. If the fever is not treated promptly, it can lead to tonsillitis. Generally, if tonsillitis occurs, it should be treated with antibiotics to reduce inflammation as soon as possible. Amoxicillin-clavulanate potassium can be chosen, and it is better to combine it with Qinghe Jiedu granules for heat-clearing and detoxification. The above is advice on the question "How should severe tonsillitis be treated?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
