Patient's question:
The child has recently been carefully checked and found to have tonsillitis, a runny nose with blood streaks, sometimes having something like curd on the lips, constantly drooling, and not drinking milk well, but can still eat dinner. After getting an injection and taking medicine for three days, it hasn't gotten better yet. Please ask: How should a baby with tonsillitis, cough, and a runny nose be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
Coughing and runny nose may be caused by upper respiratory tract infection. It is recommended to go to the pediatric department of the hospital for a check-up. Under the guidance of a doctor, some medication should be taken to prevent self-medication. It is suggested to drink more water for the child in these days, and the diet should be light, with a focus on liquid foods such as millet porridge, rice porridge, and soft noodles. When cooking porridge, you can add some tremella, lotus seeds, and lily bulbs, which have auxiliary effects such as clearing heat, soothing the lungs, and moisturizing the lungs. For patients with tonsillitis, in addition to active treatment, they should also pay attention to maintaining deep sleep in daily life. Sufficient deep sleep can help you recover quickly from the illness. I hope the above answers can help you. Thank you.
