Question
A nine-year-old girl is suffering from tonsillitis accompanied by a high fever, experiencing throat pain and a hoarse voice when speaking. How should treatment be conducted to achieve a good effect?
Answer
In treating pediatric tonsillitis, clinical practice primarily involves the use of antibiotic medications, and sensitive drugs can be selected based on the results of bacterial cultures, with significant effects. At the same time, regional treatments such as irrigation or direct medication can be administered to enhance the efficacy. If the child experiences severe throat pain, painkillers can be administered. For those with fever, antipyretics should be taken, and medical attention should be sought promptly in cases of high fever. For children with recurrent acute attacks or complications, it is recommended to undergo tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Additionally, attention should be paid to arranging reasonable dietary and lifestyle habits to aid in a speedy recovery from the disease.
