Patient's question:
Last night at 5 PM, I started feeling feverish. The baby was crying. Today, I went to the hospital for a blood test. The blood test results showed high white blood cell count. Sore throat, thick tongue, poor digestion.Doctor's answer:
The first choice of antibiotics is penicillin. Those allergic to penicillin can opt for erythromycin, lincomycin, etc. For high fever, headache, and general body aches, antipyretic and analgesic agents such as aspirin can be used. If the condition does not improve after 2-3 days of treatment, it should be considered whether the infection is viral or caused by other bacteria. Antiviral drugs, sensitive antibiotics, or sulfonamide drugs should be considered. Adrenal cortical hormones such as prednisone and dexamethasone can be used as needed.
