9. Other type of infection and give other drug regimen for these types of infection.
Viral
For the treatment of viral tonsillitis, the bodys own defense system and time is all that we can rely on. Researches are still working on to find out an anti-infective agent to deal with such viral infection.
Fungal
Itraconazole (Sporanox capsules). Ketoconazole (Nizoral tablets). Fluconazole (Diflucan capsules).
10. What other symptomatic treatment the patient needs? a. for fever and pain The pain and fever-reducing ingredients often found in these medicines -- acetaminophen, ibuprofen, naproxen sodium, and aspirin -- are safe for most adults if taken correctly. Two common groups of pain relievers are acetaminophen and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Most OTC pain relief drugs contain one or the other. NSAIDs. This group of drugs relieves pain and fever by tamping down on the substances in your body that cause the feeling of pain and help control body temperature. Drugs in the NSAID category include:
Ibuprofen, the active ingredient in Advil and Motrin Aspirin, found in Bayer or St. Joseph Naproxen sodium, found in Aleve Acetaminophen. This is an active ingredient in Tylenol and many other prescription and non-prescription medications. Acetaminophen seems to work on the parts of the brain that perceive pain and control body temperature. b. for sore throat
A throat lozenge (cough drop, troche, cachou, or cough sweet) is a small, medicated tablet intended to be dissolved slowly in the mouth to temporarily stop coughs and lubricate and soothe irritated tissues of the throat (usually due to a sore throat), possibly from the common cold or influenza. Cough tablets have taken the name lozenge, based on their original shape. Lozenges may contain benzocaine, an anesthetic, or eucalyptus oil. Non-menthol throat lozenges generally use either zinc gluconate glycine or pectin as an oral demulcent. Several brands of throat lozenges contain dextromethorphan.
Still
other
varieties,
such
as Halls,
contain menthol, peppermint
oil and/or spearmint as
their active
ingredient(s). Honey lozenges are also available.
c. enhance immunity
Dr. Linus Pauling noted that vitamin C is a critically important water-soluble antioxidant, as it protects proteins and lipids from free radical damage associated with infection, intensive exercise, and other stressors that can injure cells.1-3These very properties make vitamin C a valuable agent for improving immune function. By suppressing oxidative stress, vitamin C increases the life span of immune cells and reduces infection-related cellular damage.4-7 This bolsters the immune systems ability to fend off a broad range of infectious agents.
d. dehydration
Use an oral rehydration solution. such as Pedialyte for infants and children who have diarrhea, vomiting or fever. These solutions contain water and salts in specific proportions to replenish both fluids and electrolytes. They're also designed for easier digestion. Oral rehydration products are readily available in most drugstores, and many pharmacies carry their own brands. Begin giving fluids early in the course of an illness instead of waiting until the situation becomes urgent. 11. preventive measures Tonsillitis is a problem within the immune system, so the best way to prevent its occurrence is by building a strong immune system. Make sure you consume lots of vitamin C, which has anti-allergic qualities; as well as zinc and grapes Practicing good hygiene is always a sound method of preventing diseases, especially those that spread from one person to another. Keep the hands clean by washing them with soap at frequent intervals. When someone in the family has the problem, other members of the family need to avoid using spoons; plates, utensils; clothes; soap and toothbrush that the infected person uses.
12. advise to the parents. Stress the importance of completing the medication of antibiotics. Remind the child of good hygiene and continuously give vitamins to boost immune response against infections.
