Question
Dear Baby, currently 5 years old, at first, felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed that the voice was a bit hoarse during speaking, and now has a persistent high fever. How should children’s tonsillitis be treated effectively?
Answer
The treatment for children’s tonsillitis includes antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs, and parents can choose appropriate medications based on symptoms. Regional therapy can also be carried out, such as irrigation or direct medication, to consolidate the efficacy of treatment. For children with pronounced throat pain, analgesics can be used to relieve symptoms. If the child has a fever, oral antipyretic drugs can be taken. If the symptoms cannot be relieved, it is imperative to seek medical attention. For children with frequent acute severe attacks or complications, it is recommended to consider tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. In addition, attention should be paid to arranging reasonable diet and lifestyle habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
