Question
How to treat children’s tonsillitis?
Answer
There are several methods for treating children’s tonsillitis: Firstly, parents can give the child some anti-inflammatory drugs orally; at the same time, they can also perform local rinsing or spraying; if necessary, they can inject symptomatic drugs into the tonsils. If the child mainly shows symptoms of throat pain, appropriate amounts of painkillers can be given to relieve pain. At the same time, if there is a low fever, physical cooling can be done. If the child’s body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it should be treated promptly. If the child frequently has tonsillitis, after the condition is controlled, surgical treatment can be considered to avoid recurrent attacks. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen symptoms.
