Question
My 9-year-old daughter has a sore throat accompanied by severe coughing and a low-grade fever. What are the effective treatment methods for a child’s tonsillitis with a swollen throat?
Answer
The treatment of a child’s tonsillitis with a swollen throat can involve systemic medications such as antibiotics, along with regional treatments like tonsil crypt irrigation or intra-tonsillar drug injections. If the sore throat is severe, painkillers can be used. If there is a low-grade fever, it is recommended to use physical cooling methods. However, if the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, immediate medical attention should be sought. If the inflammation recurs frequently, surgery may need to be considered. After the condition improves, it is suggested to let the child engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
