Question
A boy, 5 years old, has just started experiencing a slight sore throat, and it seems he has difficulty swallowing. Additionally, he has a low-grade fever. How should crying children with tonsillitis be diagnosed and treated?
Answer
Parents are advised to select suitable antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs for their child under the guidance of a doctor to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Complementary regional treatment methods, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections, are also good options. For children with pronounced sore throat symptoms, painkillers can be used. If the child continues to have a fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication or immediately take the child to the hospital. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to seek surgical treatment as soon as possible. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
