Question
An eight-year-old girl is experiencing symptoms such as a sore throat, severe coughing, fever, and lack of energy, tonsillitis.What treatment measures should be taken to relieve the pain and promote recovery?
Answer
Tonsillitis is a common condition in children, and treatment usually involves antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs, which effectively combat infection and reduce inflammation. While taking medication, regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation or direct medication can be used to enhance efficacy. If the pain is severe, painkillers may be considered. In case of persistent fever, use fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention. For cases that frequently recur, doctors may suggest surgical treatment. Parents should ensure their child stays warm and avoid catching a cold to prevent another episode of tonsillitis.
