What should I do if my tonsils have been suppurating for 6 days and I still have a high fever every day?

Tonsil suppuration for 6 days and still high fever every day, usually due to acute tonsillitis caused by systemic symptoms, can be relieved by general therapy, drug therapy. When human resistance is lowered, the pathogens remaining in the pharynx and tonsil crypts multiply, and toxins destroy the crypt epithelium, thus bacteria invade the tonsil parenchyma and make it congested, suppurative, or with exudate discharge. Acute inflammation can cause systemic symptoms, such as chills, high fever, headache, fatigue and so on. Because the disease is contagious, the patient should be properly isolated, pay attention to bed rest, drink plenty of water and strengthen nutrition; with high fever, sore throat, oral antipyretic and analgesic drugs such as acetaminophen. Topical treatment with gargles containing antibacterial effect such as compound chlorhexidine gargle and compound borax solution can be used. Antibiotic application is the main treatment method, preferred penicillin, according to the severity of the disease, to determine the route of administration. If the condition does not improve after 2-3 days of treatment and the fever does not subside, the cause should be analyzed and other kinds of antibiotics should be used instead. Or use glucocorticosteroids, such as prednisone and dexamethasone, as appropriate. There are more diseases that cause tonsil suppuration, such as scarlet fever, Fanshuang pharyngitis, etc. When tonsil suppuration is detected, it is necessary to actively consult a doctor for systematic examination to clarify the diagnosis, and standardize the use of medication and treatment in accordance with the doctor’s instructions.
