Question
What should be done to treat a child’s tonsillitis and achieve good results?
Answer
For a child with tonsillitis, the first step is to use antibiotics targeted at the symptoms. If the child’s condition is severe, some regional treatment measures can be assist, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and injection medication. At the same time, analgesic drugs can be administered according to the child’s condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, which can alleviate pain. If the child continues to have a fever, some antipyretic drugs can be taken orally. Tonsillitis often recurs. If similar conditions exist, surgical treatment can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
