Question
How Should Tonsillitis in Children Be Treated?
Answer
The first step in treating a child’s tonsillitis is to administer some anti-inflammatory medications. Additionally, regional treatments can be performed, including tonsil crypt irrigation, medication injections into the tonsil, and laser therapy. If the child has severe throat pain, it is recommended to use some painkillers according to the situation, and if there is also a low-grade fever, physical cooling should be considered. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought immediately. For multiple acute severe episodes or those with complications, it is suggested to undergo tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation resolves. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
