Question
The child reported a sore throat in the morning, with coughing at night, a red throat, and tonsillitis. What medication should be taken, and what precautions should be taken?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, it is first important to prevent colds, avoid spicy and light foods, drink plenty of water to maintain oral hygiene, ensure adequate sleep, and engage in moderate exercise to boost immunity. During the acute phase, oral antibiotics can be taken for anti-inflammatory treatment, and in severe cases, intravenous anti-inflammatory therapy may be necessary. If there is severe throat pain or fever, oral fever-reducing painkillers can be taken. Chronic tonsillitis often presents with dryness in the throat, a feeling of obstruction, and thick mucus that is difficult to cough up, and the treatment method may vary.
