Question

A 9-year-old girl is experiencing a sore throat, hoarseness, and persistent low-grade fever, suspected of tonsillitis. What treatment should be administered?

Answer

When treating such diseases, appropriate antibiotic medications can be given to the child. Regional treatments can consider laser therapy or pharmacological irrigation. If the child’s throat pain is severe, painkillers can be used to alleviate discomfort. For fever symptoms, antipyretic medications can be taken. If the symptoms are severe, medical attention should be sought promptly. Additionally, if the child frequently suffers from recurrent inflammation, parents can consider surgical treatment under the doctor’s recommendation. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to keeping the child warm and avoiding catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
