Question
A 6-year-old girl has recently been suffering from a sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and persistent high fever. How should one treat the symptoms of tonsillitis pain?
Answer
In treating tonsillitis, appropriate use of antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be made, along with regional treatments such as rinsing or direct medication to enhance efficacy. If the child’s throat pain is severe, painkillers can be used. For persistent high fever, timely administration of fever-reducing medication is necessary. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling(temperature reduction) methods can be tried. If the inflammation recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be considered. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the child’s diet and lifestyle habits are reasonable to help accelerate recovery.
