Question
A nine-year-old girl is experiencing symptoms of sore throat, difficulty swallowing, fever, and lack of energy, tonsillitis tonsillitis. How should she be treated?
Answer
The first step in treating tonsillitis is to administer appropriate anti-inflammatory medication based on the child’s symptoms, while also considering regional therapy to enhance efficacy, such as tonsil pocket irrigation or direct injection of medication into the tonsils. If the child has a sore throat, painkillers can be used to relieve discomfort. If fever is present, a fever-reducing medicine can be given in appropriate doses, but if the body temperature does not subside, immediate medical attention should be sought. If the medication treatment is ineffective and symptoms recur frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During the treatment period, ensure that the child gets adequate rest and encourage the consumption of vegetables and fruits.
