Patient's question:
The child was diagnosed with acute tonsillitis a week ago and has had a low fever. They were given penicillin for three days and took bacterial dissolving tablets and heat-clearing and detoxifying medicine. Now they have a low fever again, and their throat makes a rattling sound while sleeping, as if it's inflamed again.Question: How should a 8-month-old baby with tonsillitis be diagnosed and treated?
Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of the child may be possibly caused by medication not being suitable. You need to have the child examined carefully to determine the cause based on your description. It is recommended that you have the child undergo a blood test to identify the cause, so that the condition can be better understood and treated accordingly. Patients with tonsillitis can use dietary therapy as supplementary treatment while understanding the appropriate treatment. In daily life, it is crucial to avoid excessive hunger or fullness, and never overeat.
