Question
If a child has tonsillitis, with symptoms such as throat pain, slight coughing, and low fever, what should be done for treatment?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, antibiotics can be used for treatment, combined with local therapies such as tonsil crypt irrigation and intratonsillar drug injection. If throat pain is severe, it is recommended to use a moderate amount of painkillers. If there is a fever, below 38.5 degrees Celsius can be cooled down physically; above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral antipyretics can be taken. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment can be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to pay attention to a light diet and consume mainly liquid foods to reduce throat irritation.
