Question
An 8-year-old girl is experiencing a sore throat, cough, and low-grade fever, suspected of having tonsillitis. How should treatment be conducted?
Answer
For the treatment of tonsillitis, it is recommended to use appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance to effectively alleviate inflammation. If the condition is more severe, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection of medications can be considered. If the girl’s throat pain is severe, painkillers can be used to relieve discomfort. For fever symptoms, antipyretic medications can be taken. If the symptoms are severe, immediate medical assistance should be sought. Additionally, if tonsillitis recurs frequently, surgical treatment can be considered. Parents should take this disease seriously, take their child to the doctor in a timely manner, and do a good job of prevention and health care in daily life.
