Question
A 9-year-old girl is experiencing pain while swallowing, has difficulty swallowing, and is suffering from a persistent high fever. What should be the treatment for a child’s tonsillitis with crying and distress?
Answer
Treatment for children’s tonsillitis can include the use of anti-inflammatory medications for symptomatic treatment, or regional medications such as tonsil crypt irrigation and intratonsillar injections. If the child primarily shows symptoms of throat pain, parents may consider giving the child painkillers to alleviate symptoms; if the fever persists, antipyretics should be used or the child should be taken to a doctor immediately. Additionally, if the child has frequent recurrences, the doctor may recommend surgical treatment. After the condition improves, parents should encourage their child to engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
