Question
A four-year-old girl is experiencing symptoms of sore throat, severe coughing, fever, and lack of energy. She has been diagnosed with swollen tonsillitis. What treatment should be considered?
Answer
For the treatment of children’s swollen tonsillitis, appropriate antibiotic medications can be considered first. In terms of local treatment, laser therapy or medicated rinse is recommended. If the child has severe throat pain, painkillers can be administered as needed. Additionally, fever reducers can be taken if there is a fever, and in case of high fever, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. These methods are common treatment approaches, but if tonsillitis recurs frequently, early surgery may be recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid catching a cold to prevent the worsening of the condition.
