Question
How should a child with tonsillitis be treated effectively?
Answer
Generally, for children suffering from tonsillitis, antibiotic treatment can be considered. At the same time, regional treatment measures such as rinsing or direct medication application can enhance the efficacy. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be used to alleviate discomfort. In cases of low-grade fever, physical cooling measures can be taken. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°, medical attention should be sought promptly. If there are recurrent acute severe symptoms or complications, it is recommended to consider tonsillectomy after the acute inflammation subsides for two weeks. Additionally, paying attention to a reasonable diet and sleep habits can help the child recover sooner.
