A 10-year-old girl with swollen tonsils almost blocked her throat. What is her temperature? Does she need surgery? Are there other treatment methods?Past treatment history and effectiveness: She took medicine and had intravenous drips when she coughed.
What kind of help is desired: What treatment methods are effective?
Doctor's answer:
From the situation you described, it should be acute tonsillitis, with main symptoms including sore throat, fever, and discomfort in the throat. In terms of treatment, it is important to pay attention to rest, maintain a good surrounding environment, drink plenty of water, and consume a large amount of vitamin C. Additionally, antiviral medications like virazole can be used, or antibiotic treatment can be adopted, commonly using penicillin-based, compound sulfamethoxazole, and macrolide antibiotics. Active treatment should be initiated.
