Question
How should children with tonsillitis be treated for the best effect?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s orders and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Regional therapy can also be considered, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and intratonsillar injections. If the child has severe throat pain, it is suggested to use some painkillers to relieve symptoms. If there is a fever, choose a cooling method based on body temperature; below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling can be used; above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral antipyretics can be taken. If there are recurrent inflammatory episodes, consider surgical treatment. Pay attention to a light diet in daily life and consume liquid foods mainly during the treatment period.
