Question
How to treat a child’s tonsillitis effectively?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, it is first advisable to use symptomatic antibiotic medications. Additionally, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can be considered. If the child primarily experiences throat pain, parents are recommended to administer appropriate pain relievers to alleviate discomfort. If the child continues to have a fever, timely use of fever-reducing medication is necessary. For temperatures not exceeding 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be employed. If the child experiences multiple acute severe infections or has complications, it is suggested to consider tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child is well-protected from colds to prevent exacerbation of symptoms.
