Patient's question:
Burning, cough, fever recurring repeatedly in winter. Previous treatment history and effectiveness: Improved after three days of intravenous infusion, mainly using cephalosporin, virus inhibitor, and clindamycin. What kind of assistance is needed: How to prevent work, how to self-heal...Doctor's answer:
Tonsillitis is often caused by Streptococcus pyogenes. Additionally, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and viruses can also cause it. The onset is usually sudden, with symptoms including chills, high fever, and severe sore throat, especially when swallowing dry food. It may also lead to radiating ear pain, limb soreness, and fatigue. Examination reveals redness and swelling of the tonsils, with most having yellowish-white purulent secretions at the crypt openings. In cases of inflamed follicles, the symptoms are more severe, with submucosal yellowish-white small abscesses. The patient may have swollen and tender submandibular lymph nodes, and a decrease in white blood cells in the blood.Acute tonsillitis is contagious and should be appropriately isolated. Since this condition is often caused by Streptococcus, antibiotics or sulfonamide drugs can be used. Additionally, rest, bowel movement, plenty of fluids, cold liquid foods, and sufficient fever-reducing and pain-relieving medications, as well as mouthwash, should be provided. Most patients can recover within about a week.
Lifestyle care: Children with acute or chronic tonsillitis should avoid dry, spicy, fried, and other irritating foods, such as ginger, chili peppers, garlic, and fried dough sticks. During the acute phase, children should follow a light diet and consume foods rich in moisture and easy to digest, such as thin rice porridge (with salt), juice, sugarcane water, water chestnut water (powder), and mung bean soup. In the chronic phase, children should eat fresh vegetables, fruits, legumes, and moisturizing foods, such as green vegetables, tomatoes, carrots, soybeans, tofu, soy milk, pears, rock sugar, honey, and lily bulb soup.
