Question
A 9-year-old girl is experiencing a sore throat, severe coughing, and persistent fever, diagnosed with tonsillitis. What should be the treatment for this condition?
Answer
For the treatment of tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be taken, and regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or drug injections can be considered. If the throat pain is severe, painkillers can be appropriately used; if accompanied by fever, antipyretics can be taken. In case of high fever, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If the tonsils frequently inflame, surgical treatment is recommended. Parents should ensure their child’s warmth and avoid colds to prevent recurrent tonsillitis.
