Patient's question:
The patient is a 13-month-old male infant who was previously in good health. Starting in early spring, he developed a cold with nasal congestion and runny nose. He took Anfen Huangna Min Granules and Cefixime Granules for the cold, which slightly improved, but then he started coughing.Doctor's answer:
tonsillitis is contagious and should be appropriately isolated. Since this disease is mostly caused by streptococcal infection, antibiotics or sulfonamides can be used. In addition, rest, bowel movement, plenty of water, cold liquid food, and appropriate fever-reducing and pain-relieving drugs, mouthwash, etc. should be given. Most patients can recover in about 1 week.
