Question
An 8-year-old girl is experiencing a sore throat, accompanied by slight coughing and low-grade fever, tonsillitis. How should it be treated?
Answer
For pediatric tonsillitis, it is typically recommended to use antibiotics for treatment, which usually yields significant results. At the same time, regional treatments can be combined, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or tonsil injection medications. If there is a sore throat, painkillers can be considered. If fever is present, fever-reducing measures should be taken according to the situation; if the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention should be sought. Tonsillitis may recur; if the condition persists, surgical treatment can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with a light diet and to enhance nutritional supplementation to promote recovery.
