Question
A one-year-old girl is experiencing symptoms such as swallowing pain, severe coughing, fever, and lack of energy. Diagnosed with tonsillitis, how should treatment be carried out to achieve the best results?
Answer
The treatment of children’s tonsillitis usually involves administering anti-inflammatory medication as prescribed by a doctor, and may include regional rinsing or spraying, as well as intra-tonsillar injection of symptomatic medication, which is also effective. If the girl’s throat pain is severe, painkillers can be used to relieve discomfort. During fever, antipyretic medication can be taken. If symptoms are severe, immediate medical attention should be sought. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, surgical treatment can be considered. Parents should ensure their child stays warm and avoid catching a cold to prevent a recurrence of tonsillitis.
