Question
A 4-year-old girl is experiencing swallowing pain, hoarseness, and fever symptoms, suspected of having tonsillitis. How should treatment be conducted to achieve the best results?
Answer
For the treatment of tonsillitis, appropriate antibiotic medication can be considered first. Additionally, regional treatment is also an important aspect, including tonsil crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, or laser therapy. If the child has severe throat pain, analgesics can be administered to relieve discomfort. When fever persists, parents should administer fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to keeping the child warm and avoiding catching a cold to worsen symptoms.
