Patient's question:
Since March 25th, it has been like this until now. Cough, about four times each time, with a whistling sound in breathing. At the local People's Hospital, after receiving intravenous fluids for five days, there was no improvement. Later, the doctor took X-rays, which showed pediatric pneumonia and required hospitalization. On the 31st, the child was admitted and received the following intravenous medications: theophylline, azithromycin, cefazolin sodium, and a hormone, methylprednisolone.Now, the baby is still coughing with a whistling sound and shows no obvious movement, but when active, the sound becomes much louder. How can the child be discharged and take medication at home? It has been almost a week in the hospital. For the cough, what medicine should be taken? Besides the whistling sound.
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. Generally, treatment focuses on enhancing physical fitness and immunity. Acute tonsillitis requires thorough treatment. In clinical diagnosis, I have found that Mian Yan Shu Lin granules are quite effective in treating tonsillitis, along with anti-inflammatory medications such as Amoxicillin.
