Question
How should a child with tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, the first step is to use targeted antibiotic medications. Besides systemic medication, regional treatments can also be administered, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injections. In cases of throat pain, painkillers can be given to the child. If there is also a low fever, physical coolingcan be used. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is also recommended to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is crucial to ensure the child’s warmth and avoid catching a cold to exacerbate the symptoms.
