Question
A 9-year-old girl is experiencing symptoms such as sore throat, hoarseness, and persistent fever, suspected of having tonsillitis. How should it be treated?
Answer
For the treatment of children’s tonsillitis, first, systemic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be administered, supplemented by regional therapy such as tonsil crypt irrigation or direct tonsil injection to enhance efficacy. If the throat pain is severe, appropriate painkillers can be used; for fever, antipyretic medications can be taken. If symptoms are severe or recurrent, it is recommended to undergo tonsillectomy after two weeks of acute inflammation subsiding. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure that the child gets adequate rest and consumes sufficient vegetables and fruits.
