How would I trigger an automatic enter key press after an Input function?

        choice = input(">>")
        if choice.lower() == "+":
            death = death0.IncreaseDeath()
        elif choice.lower() == "-":
            death = death0.DecreaseDeath()
        elif choice.lower() == "r":
            death = death0.ResetDeath()
        elif choice.lower() == "q":
            sys.exit()

I have this code, but its supposed to be a death counter, where the user should jus press + or - or r or q and it increments automatically, without the user needing to press enter. I tried keyboard.press_and_release('enter') and keyboard.add_hotkey('+', death = death0.IncreaseDeath()) but 2nd one doesn't work, and second one works AFTER input finishes and user presses Enter, and now its spamming enter on the input(which isnt what i want, i want the user to type one letter and then have it press Enter automatically. How would I do this to make it happen so user doesnt need to press "Enter" after the input

if msvcrt.kbhit():
            key_stroke = msvcrt.getch()
            if key_stroke == b'+':
                death = death0.IncreaseDeath()
            elif key_stroke == b'-':
                death = death0.DecreaseDeath()
            elif key_stroke == b'r':
                death = death0.ResetDeath()
            elif key_stroke == b'q':
                sys.exit()

Also tried this BUT my code before which is:

def DeathCount(death,DEATH_NAME):
    while True:
        os.system('cls' if os.name == 'nt' else 'clear')
        print ("####################")
        print (f"  {DEATH_NAME}: {death} ")
        print ("####################")
        print ("    * + : increase *      ")
        print ("    * - : decrease *      ")
        print ("    * r : reset    *      ")
        print ("    * q : quit     *      ")
        print ("####################")

doesn't show up and it gives no clue to the user what to press and whether its actually incrementing or not.

hope this code helps

import sys
from getkey import getkey
death0 = 15
death = death0
print(death)
while True:
    print(">>")
    choice = getkey()
    if choice.lower() == "+":
        death += 1
    elif choice.lower() == "-":
        death -= 1
    elif choice.lower() == "r":
        death = death0
    elif choice.lower() == "q":
        sys.exit()
    else:
        print("invalid input")
    print(death)
