Question
An 8-year-old girl initially experienced a sore throat when speaking, which later intensified into coughing and a persistent high fever. What are the treatment methods for tonsillitis?
Answer
For children with tonsillitis, antibiotics are typically used for treatment, and regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation or direct medication can be combined. If there is a sore throat, painkillers may be necessary. If the child’s fever exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately. Additionally, if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, surgical treatment may need to be considered. To prevent recurrence, it is suggested that after the condition improves, the child engage in appropriate exercise to enhance immunity.
