Question
A 5-year-old boy has recently started experiencing throat pain, accompanied by a slight cough and persistent fever. How should one treat the child’s tonsillitis effectively?
Answer
To treat tonsillitis effectively, one can choose anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance, and also combine with some regional treatment methods, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injection medications, which are quite effective. If the child’s throat pain is severe, it is recommended to use painkillers to alleviate symptoms. If the child continues to have a fever, timely application of antipyretics is necessary; for temperatures not exceeding 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used. In cases of repeated acute severe episodes or complications, it is advisable to perform tonsillectomy after the acute inflammation subsides for two weeks. Lastly, parents should take this disease seriously, bring their child to a doctor for treatment as soon as possible, and pay attention to doing well in related preventive and health care work.
