Patient's question:
A 5-year-old boy with good physical health and rarely catching colds started snoring around April 20th and was diagnosed with tonsillitis.Doctor's answer:
The first choice of antibiotics is penicillin. Those allergic to penicillin can opt for erythromycin, clindamycin, 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. In such cases, antiviral drugs, sensitive antibiotics, or sulfonamide drugs should be used. Adrenal cortical hormones such as prednisone and dexamethasone can be used as needed.
