Question
An 8-year-old girl is experiencing throat pain, severe cough, and persistent low fever. How should a child’s tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
For a child with tonsillitis, oral anti-inflammatory medication can be considered, along with regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation or injections. Painkillers to relieve throat pain can also be administered based on the situation. If fever is present, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If there is no significant improvement, medical attention should be sought promptly. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgery may be considered, and special attention should be paid to maintaining warmth during treatment to prevent exacerbation of symptoms.
