Question
A five-year-old girl is experiencing symptoms of swallowing pain, slight cough, fever, and lack of energy, tonsillitis tonsillitis. How should she be treated?
Answer
In treating children’s tonsillitis, clinical practice mainly involves the use of antibiotic medications, and sensitive drugs can be selected based on the results of bacterial culture, with good effects. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injections can also be performed. If the child’s throat pain is severe, painkillers can be administered as necessary. When there is persistent fever, parents should give fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to undergo surgery as soon as possible. During the treatment period, it is advisable to arrange for a child to have a light diet and to enhance nutritional supplementation to aid in a quick recovery.
