Patient's question:
Swollen and red platysma with recurrent congestion, repeated fever, cough without sputum, and fluctuating body temperature.History of previous treatment and effectiveness: Azithromycin drip and oral Cefixime for 4 days, with a body temperature of 37.9°C.
What kind of help is needed: Where should treatment be sought?
Doctor's answer:
In this case, it's important to note that it takes time for tonsillitis to fully recover. If the tonsils become abscessed, the fever may also fluctuate repeatedly... Monitor body temperature changes promptly, drink plenty of water, and get adequate rest. It is recommended to have a thorough examination in a pediatric department of a regular hospital, such as a throat examination and blood tests. If the fever persists repeatedly, surgical removal of the tonsils may be considered when necessary.
