Patient's question:
The child initially had a runny nose, then the mucus gradually turned a bit green. Next, the tonsils were inflamed, and the child didn't want to eat and had occasional dry coughing. What should I do? The child doesn't like bitter medicine and spits it out even when forced?Doctor's answer:
Disease speculation: There is a high possibility of a bacterial infection at the moment. You can start with empirical treatment using oral cephalexin for two days to see if it improves. If necessary, intravenous treatment may be required. Pay attention to drinking more water and eating a nutritious diet.Advice: If you vomit after taking the medication, it is best to switch to intravenous treatment. After taking the medication for two days, observe if there is any improvement. If it does improve, you will need to continue the medication for a full week. Pay attention to a light diet, avoid getting cold, drink more water, and prevent the condition from worsening.
In addition, during the treatment for tonsillitis, apart from immediate treatment, the patient's dietary condition and mental state are also particularly important. The patient must always maintain a positive mood and eat properly to avoid unnecessary interference with the complete recovery of tonsillitis.
