Question
A three-year-old girl is experiencing sore throat, severe coughing, and persistent low-grade fever, suspected to be tonsillitis and swelling. How should it be treated?
Answer
The treatment for children’s tonsillitis and swelling usually involves symptomatic antibiotic medications. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injection can also be performed. For throat pain, analgesics can be used. During persistent fever, oral antipyretics can be considered. These are common treatment methods. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider early surgery. During the treatment period, ensure that the child receives adequate nutrition, eat a light diet, and pay attention to rest, avoiding overexertion.
