Question

A 3-year-old girl is experiencing symptoms such as sore throat, pain when drinking, mild cough, and low fever. These symptoms may indicate tonsillitis. How should one treat a child’s tonsillitis to achieve better results?

Answer

The treatment of tonsillitis typically includes the use of antibiotic medications, local rinses or sprays, and the injection of symptomatic drugs into the tonsils. These methods generally yield good results. If the sore throat is severe, painkillers can be used according to the situation. If the fever persists, oral antipyretics can be taken. If medication is ineffective and symptoms recur frequently, consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, ensure that the child receives adequate nutrition, eats a light diet, and gets plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
