Question
How should acute tonsillitis in children be treated?
Answer
Acute tonsillitis is primarily caused by bacterial or viral infections. It is recommended to use sensitive antibiotics and herbal remedies for detoxification. Penicillin treatment is usually more effective, and for fever symptoms, symptomatic treatment is sufficient. There is no need to worry if the fever does not reach 38.5 degrees Celsius; physical cooling can be used. Here’s a little secret: applying xi-type powder from the hospital to the affected area can effectively reduce inflammation and swelling of the tonsils. If symptoms of nasal congestion and sneezing are accompanied by fever, children can take ammonium phenazone paracetamol granules to relieve nasal congestion and sneezing. Also, pay attention to oral hygiene, drink plenty of water, eat more fruits and vegetables, and wish for a speedy recovery!
