Question
A nine-year-old girl is experiencing throat pain, difficulty swallowing, and low-grade fever symptoms, tonsillitis. How should one effectively treat tonsillitis?
Answer
Treatment for tonsillitis can be guided by a physician to select anti-inflammatory medications, and regional spray medications or laser therapy can also be considered. If severe throat pain is present, painkillers can be used in appropriate amounts. During fever, cooling measures should be provided as needed, and if the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention should be sought. For recurrent episodes of tonsillitis, surgical treatment is recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure that the child gets adequate rest and consumes sufficient vegetables and fruits.
