Question
How should a child’s tonsillitis and sore throat be treated?
Answer
Antibiotic medications are currently the most common treatment for tonsillitis and can be chosen appropriately. If the child’s condition is more severe, regional therapy can also be considered, including tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections. In cases of sore throat, painkillers can be administered to the child. If the child has a fever, it is recommended to take antipyretics accordingly. If the fever exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention early. These are some commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider surgery early. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in appropriate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
