Question
Baby girl, 6 years old, has a sore throat accompanied by coughing and low fever. How should one handle a child’s tonsillitis?
Answer
For such diseases, it is appropriate to administer a moderate dose of antibiotic medication to the child, and also combine local treatment methods such as tonsil irrigation and injection. If the throat pain is severe, painkillers can be taken to alleviate symptoms, and attention should be paid to the use of fever-reducing medications. If the fever is severe, it is recommended to seek medical attention early. For those with chronic acute conditions and complications, consider tonsillectomy after the inflammation subsides. It is advisable to maintain a light diet and consume mainly liquid foods during treatment.
