Antibacterial drugs: If it is caused by bacterial infection, antibiotic treatment can be used, commonly used, including penicillin, amoxicillin and so on. Patients who are allergic to penicillin are commonly used drugs such as roxithromycin and azithromycin, which are prone to allergic reactions. 3. Antiviral drugs: If it is caused by virus, it can be treated with antiviral drugs such as ribavirin under the guidance of doctor, and the common adverse reactions are dizziness, vomiting, diarrhea and so on. If there is a need for medication, it should be used under the guidance of a doctor, and should not be taken on its own, so as not to cause adverse reactions.
