Question
A four-year-old girl is experiencing symptoms of sore throat, slight cough, fever, and lack of energy, tonsillitis . How should she be treated?
Answer
In clinical treatment for children with tonsillitis accompanied by low fever, antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are commonly used. Parents can choose appropriate medications based on their child’s specific symptoms. Additionally, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can also be effective options. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be considered. Some children may have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, ensure that the child gets adequate rest and encourage the consumption of vegetables and fruits.
