Question

A kindergarten student has developed tonsillitis due to a cold, and after a month, there is still no significant improvement. The child’s appetite is poor, and there is a weight loss. How should tonsillitis be treated quickly?

Answer

Fever in children often indicates the immune system is fighting inflammation. Based on the described situation, it is suspected that tonsillitis may be the cause. It is recommended to adopt active anti-inflammatory treatment and encourage the child to drink plenty of water to help expel toxins from the body. If the child is breastfed, the mother should pay attention to her diet and avoid consuming cold, spicy, or pungent foods. In addition to timely treatment for tonsillitis, parents should maintain a positive attitude, enhance their child’s immunity and confidence in fighting diseases, and pay attention to a balanced diet, promptly supplementing the body’s required nutrients. This should effectively combat tonsillitis.
