Question
Dear Parent, my 6-year-old daughter has recently been experiencing a sore throat, severe cough, and low-grade fever. What are the effective treatment methods for tonsillitis in children?
Answer
The treatment for this condition includes administering symptomatic antibiotic medications, regional treatment methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation and injections, and considering pain relievers when necessary. For fever management, choose cooling methods based on body temperature; if the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used, while oral fever-reducing medication is suitable for temperatures above 38.5 degrees Celsius. If the medication is ineffective and the symptoms recur, surgical treatment may be an option. Maintain a light diet and focus on liquid foods during the treatment period.
