Child has cough, fever. Had tonsillitis. What can be done now?

Hello

Thanks for considering H.C.M.regarding medical query.

After reading your complaints I came to know that your child is having chronic pharyngitis may be associated with sinusitis etc. Though her tonsils had been removed but if any other infective focus in upper respiratory tract is left than there are always chances of recurrent pharyngitis and this will again produce severe cough.

so now you should do-

1- X-Ray Paranasal sinuses.

2- X- Ray chest (PA View).

3- Blood - CBC, ESR, blood sugar ( F & PP ).

4- ASO titre.

After this much work a thorough examination and clinical co-relation with investigations will disclose the diagnosis that will accordingly manage.

Regards.

after tonsil surgery some children get allergies and your daughter is one of them
so need to investigate for allergies after consulting allergy specialist
at time you can give montelucast bd
anti allergic and bronchodilator cough syp along with antacid to control it
