Patient's question:
Child had tonsillitis and received IV drips for three days until it became purulent, then received IV drips for another three days. Now the child is not feverish, do they still need to receive IV drips and take medication? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is my pleasure to assist you with your question. Treatment is needed, and continuous intravenous infusion is required, which will take about a week. It is recommended that the child drink more water, avoid spicy foods, and eat more vegetables and fruits. Bloodletting treatment should be applied to the Shaong acupoint. Boil some Chuanbei Bingtang Xueli water for the child to drink, and take some anti-inflammatory medication, such as Jinyinhua Granules. I hope my answer meets your satisfaction. Wishing the baby healthy growth.Follow-up question: The child has been on intravenous infusion for six days. Should it continue? When it first started, it was infused for three days, then three more days after it developed pus on the fourth day. Now the child is no longer feverish, so should it continue? The child is being taken care of by the grandmother, who says that as long as the fever is gone, there is no need to continue. However, I think it seems like some consolidation might be needed.
