Question
A two-year-old girl is experiencing a sore throat, cough, fever, and lack of energy. Upon examination, it was found that her tonsils are inflamed and swollen. How should this type of tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
To treat children’s tonsillitis, appropriate anti-inflammatory medication should be administered based on the symptoms. Regional treatment methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation or tonsil injections can also be considered. If the child has severe throat pain, painkillers can be used to relieve discomfort. If there is a persistent fever, timely use of antipyretics is recommended. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling measures can be taken. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider early surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain a light diet with a focus on liquid foods.
