Question
An 8-year-old girl is experiencing symptoms of sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and persistent fever, suspected to be tonsillitis. How should it be diagnosed?
Answer
Tonsillitis is a common disease in children, and the treatment usually includes the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications. Parents can choose the appropriate medication based on the doctor’s advice. Regional treatments such as medication sprays or laser therapy can also be used as auxiliary treatment methods. If the child has severe throat pain, painkillers may be considered; for fever, antipyretic medications can be used. In cases of high fever, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly. For children who suffer from recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with light meals and enhance nutritional supplementation to promote recovery.
