Treatment of acute tonsillitis

summary

Inflammation of the tonsil is inflammation of the tonsil. Clinically, it can be divided into acute and chronic. The main symptoms are sore throat, fever and throat discomfort. It can cause local or systemic complications of ear, nose, heart, kidney and joint, so it should be paid attention to. Let's talk about the treatment of acute tonsillitis.

Treatment of acute tonsillitis

First: systemic treatment: the disease is mostly streptococcal infection, penicillin is the first choice of antibiotics, penicillin allergy can choose erythromycin, lincomycin and so on. Antipyretic analgesics such as aspirin can be used in patients with high fever, headache and general pain. After 2-3 days of treatment, if the condition does not improve, we should consider whether the virus or other bacterial infection, use antiviral drugs, sensitive antibiotics or sulfonamides, and use adrenocortical hormones, such as prednisone and dexamethasone, as appropriate.

Second: local treatment: when children suffer from tonsillitis, the symptoms of systemic infection are very obvious. Children's performance is: high fever can reach 39-40 ℃, accompanied by shivering, general fatigue, headache and general pain, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting. Examination of the pharynx can find pus on the tonsil. This is the most powerful diagnostic basis, because systemic symptoms alone can not be distinguished from other colds. 　

Third: the treatment of acute tonsillitis is mainly to control infection, tonsillitis is mostly bacterial infection, especially suppurative tonsillitis is caused by pyogenic bacteria, so antibiotics must be used. Tonsillar hypertrophy caused by chronic tonsillitis can cause dyspnea, especially during sleep, because the tongue is loose and falls down, resulting in snoring. Over time, chronic hypoxia will affect the growth and development of children, and chronic hypoxia will also affect children's intellectual development.
