Question
A 9-year-old girl is experiencing severe throat pain, coughing, and persistent low fever, suspected to be tonsillitis. What treatment should be administered?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s advice and administer anti-inflammatory medications to the child. Additionally, some regional treatment methods can be adopted, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injection medications. If the child’s throat pain is severe, painkillers may be necessary. If there are fever symptoms, it is suggested to take antipyretic medications and seek medical attention as soon as possible. Tonsillitis may recur; if the inflammation is controlled, consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, pay attention to a light diet and consume mainly liquid foods.
