Question
A two-year-old girl is experiencing sore throat, hoarseness, and low-grade fever, suspected of having tonsillitis. How should it be treated?
Answer
Treatment for tonsillitis can involve using anti-inflammatory medications under physician guidance, and local treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or medication injections may be performed. If the sore throat is severe, painkillers can be administered in appropriate amounts. Fever should be managed according to the situation; if the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention should be sought. Recurrent episodes of tonsillitis may require surgical treatment. Diet should be light, and liquid foods should be the mainstay during treatment.
