Question
A six-year-old girl is experiencing symptoms of swallowing pain, hoarseness, and persistent fever, suspected to be tonsillitis. How should it be treated?
Answer
Treatment for tonsillitis can involve using anti-inflammatory medications as recommended by a physician, or performing regional rinsing and spraying, or injecting appropriate medication into the tonsils, all of which have good efficacy. If the child’s throat pain is severe, painkillers can be considered. For persistent fever, use fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to undergo surgery as early as possible. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain a light diet, focusing on liquid foods.
