Question
The baby is feeling unwell, recently showing signs of low spirits, occasionally with high fever, coughing, loss of appetite, sometimes with a little bit of green nasal discharge, eating very little at each meal, and a slight weight loss. After taking the child to the hospital for a check-up, it was diagnosed as tonsillitis, and prompt treatment is needed. What are the treatment methods for tonsillitis?
Answer
When the body is attacked by pathogens, the tonsils can become inflamed, which is related to the body’s immune system, the pathogens themselves, and the severity of the inflammation. Children at a young age have weaker resistance and usually recover slowly. If a child frequently suffers from tonsillitis or if severe inflammation of the tonsils affects daily life or if there is enlargement of the tonsils, surgery to remove them may be considered. In addition, it is important to pay attention to light eating habits, moderate exercise, and balanced nutrition to enhance resistance.
