Question
A nine-year-old girl is experiencing sore throat, worsening cough, and persistent low fever, tonsillitis. How should one effectively treat such a situation?
Answer
For children with tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be taken, as well as regional irrigation or spraying, or even injecting appropriate medication into the tonsils, all of which have good therapeutic effects. If the child’s sore throat is severe, painkillers can be used to relieve symptoms. For fever, appropriate antipyretics can be administered, but if it persists, immediate medical attention should be sought. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to keeping warm and avoiding catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
