Patient's question:
The baby has had pharyngitis for nearly two months, and the medication has been taken intermittently without improvement. Today, the tonsils have started to inflame, and the cough is severe with phlegm that cannot be expelled. The body temperature is measured at 37.22 degrees. Please ask: How can a 1.5-year-old baby with a cough and phlegm get out of this situation?Doctor's answer:
Your condition should be caused by pneumonia, and you need to go to the hospital for blood tests and chest X-rays to identify the cause. Active use of anti-inflammatory drugs for symptomatic treatment is necessary. It is recommended not to eat extremely cold, spicy, greasy, or irritating foods. Blood tests and chest X-rays are needed to determine the cause and actively treat the symptoms.There are several treatment methods for tonsillitis, but since the symptoms vary among patients, the treatment approaches differ. Therefore, patients need to undergo timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to receive symptomatic treatment.
