Question

A 4-year-old girl is experiencing symptoms of sore throat, slight cough, and persistent low fever, tonsillitis. How should one effectively treat her to alleviate her symptoms?

Answer

The usual treatment for tonsillitis involves administering anti-inflammatory medication as prescribed by a doctor. For more severe cases, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection therapy can be considered. For severe throat pain, painkillers can be used to relieve discomfort. Some children may have a fever as well, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If symptoms do not improve, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Additionally, for children who frequently suffer from inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the doctor’s recommendation. After the condition improves, it is suggested to encourage the child to engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
