Tonsillitis is generally caused by streptococcal infection. Patients can choose to take anti-inflammatory drugs for treatment. Common anti-inflammatory drugs include cefixime, cefaclor, etc. For patients allergic to cephalosporin drugs, roxithromycin can be taken orally. Azithromycin is used to treat inflammation caused by mycoplasma and chlamydia infections, and it is also effective in treating tonsillitis, but its effect is not as good as cephalosporin drugs. Therefore, patients should choose the correct medication.
Tonsillitis can be treated with oral azithromycin because it is caused by a decrease in the body's immunity and resistance, resulting in the invasion of viruses and bacteria. The common pathogenic bacteria is Streptococcus hemolyticus, and patients often experience symptoms such as high fever, chills, sore throat, fatigue, muscle soreness, etc. During examination, bilateral tonsillar enlargement and congestion can be seen, with pus coating and pustules attached to the surface. The pus coating and pustules can be wiped off, but they are not easy to bleed. Because it is caused by Streptococcus hemolyticus infection, the best anti-inflammatory drug is cephalosporin. If cephalosporin is allergic, roxithromycin or azithromycin can be taken orally. It can also be combined with traditional Chinese medicine treatment, such as Shuanghuanglian Oral Liquid, Lanqin Oral Liquid, Lianhua Qingwen Capsule, etc. During treatment, patients need to rest, drink plenty of water, and can recover in about a week. Azithromycin is mainly used to treat mycoplasma infections, while tonsillitis is generally caused by Streptococcus hemolyticus infection. Therefore, in terms of treatment, patients can first take cefixime, cefaclor, cefdinir, cefuroxime axetil, amoxicillin, penicillin V potassium tablets orally, and can also be combined with Shuanghuanglian Oral Liquid for good treatment effect. A light diet, smoking cessation and alcohol abstinence, and avoiding spicy and stimulating foods are recommended. Recovery can be gradual in about a week.
