Question
A seven-year-old girl is experiencing sore throat, mild cough, and low-grade fever, suspected of tonsillitis. How should tonsillitis and related fever symptoms be treated?
Answer
For treating tonsillitis, it is recommended to use anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance, and regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar injections can be considered. For children with pronounced sore throat symptoms, painkillers can be used to relieve discomfort. If the child continues to have a persistent fever, timely administration of antipyretics may be necessary. Tonsillitis often has a recurrent nature, and if the condition persists, surgical treatment can be considered after inflammation control. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
