Question
A two-year-old girl is experiencing symptoms such as sore throat, hoarseness, fever, and lack of energy, tonsillitis. How should she be treated?
Answer
For the treatment of tonsillitis, appropriate anti-inflammatory medications can be considered, along with local treatments such as laser therapy or medication irrigation. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be used to relieve discomfort. When fever is present, the method of cooling should be selected based on body temperature; physical cooling can be adopted if the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, while oral fever-reducing medication can be considered if the temperature is higher. If a child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, it is recommended to undergo surgery early. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure that the child gets adequate rest and is encouraged to consume vegetables and fruits.
