Question
A four-year-old girl is experiencing difficulty swallowing and pain, accompanied by persistent high fever, suspected of tonsillitis. How should it be treated?
Answer
For low fever caused by tonsillitis, it is recommended to use appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medication under a doctor’s guidance to alleviate inflammation. If the condition is severe, consider combining regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection of medication. For children with significant throat pain, analgesics can be used. If there is a fever, it can be moderately treated with antipyretics, but if it persists, immediate medical attention should be sought. Additionally, surgical treatment may be applicable for children with recurrent episodes. At the same time, attention should be paid to arranging reasonable dietary and rest habits to aid in a quick recovery from the illness.
