Question
Dear team, my daughter is currently 9 years old. Initially, she said she felt pain when swallowing, and I noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse during speech. Additionally, she seems to have a low-grade fever that has not subsided. How should we treat her sore throat and tonsillitis?
Answer
Antibiotics are commonly used in the treatment of tonsillitis and can be chosen appropriately. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injections can also be performed. If the sore throat is severe, some painkillers can be administered. If the child continues to have a fever that does not subside, oral antipyretics can be taken. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, it is also recommended to consider surgical treatment. During treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to aid in an early recovery.
