Question
A seven-year-old girl is experiencing a sore throat, slight cough, and persistent low fever, tonsillitis, how should effective treatment be carried out?
Answer
When treating tonsillitis in children, it is first important to choose the appropriate antibiotic based on the results of a bacterial culture. Local treatments can include medication sprays or laser therapy. If the child is experiencing severe throat pain, painkillers can be considered to alleviate discomfort. Additionally, if fever is present, the child can take fever reducers. If symptoms do not improve, immediate medical attention should be sought. For recurrent episodes of tonsillitis, surgical treatment is recommended. During the treatment period, ensure that the child maintains good hygiene in their diet and gets adequate rest.
