Patient's question:
My child just started kindergarten and got infected with a cold, which led to tonsillitis. It's been half a month, and it hasn't improved much. Now, my child isn't eating well, and I can see them getting thinner and thinner, which really breaks my heart. Could you please tell me: What are the symptoms of tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, your child is 6 years old and has had swollen and fibrotic tonsils for a long time. Two days ago, they had a low-grade fever and had a blood test, which showed that several indicators like red blood cells were low. When they had a fever, your child complained of dizziness. The fever has subsided after intravenous fluids, but you still feel that your child is a bit weak. They don’t eat dinner well lately, and due to the recent dry weather, they’ve also had some nosebleeds. The doctor didn’t prescribe any medication, and you’re questioning whether the nosebleeds are causing the anemia, which is making you a bit anxious.Don’t be too anxious. The doctor not prescribing medication for your child proves that there’s no need for medication in their condition. You can boil some pear water with rock sugar for your child to drink, once a day. Alternatively, you can give your child more fruits to eat, such as bananas, apples, etc.
