Question
A 7-year-old girl, at first, had a slight sore throat, noticed it, accompanied by a mild cough, and also had a low-grade fever. How should a child with tonsillitis be treated for the sore throat?
Answer
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be appropriately administered. If the child’s condition is more severe, regional treatments can be combined, including tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections. For children with pronounced throat pain, analgesic medications can be used. Children with fever symptoms can take antipyretic drugs. In severe cases, immediate medical attention should be sought. For those with recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgery may be considered. At the same time, attention should also be paid to arranging a reasonable diet and rest habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
