Question
A 6-year-old girl has recently started experiencing a sore throat, with difficulty swallowing and a slight fever, along with a lack of energy. What should be done to treat her tonsillitis?
Answer
Appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be administered. For regional treatment, laser therapy or medication irrigation is recommended. If the main symptom is throat pain, consider giving some painkillers. If the child continues to have a fever, apply antipyretics promptly. For temperatures below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used. In cases of recurrent severe acute episodes or complications, it is suggested to perform tonsillectomy after the acute inflammation subsides for two weeks. After the condition improves, it is recommended to engage the child in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
