Question
My daughter is 9 years old. Initially, she felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed her voice was a bit hoarse. Now, she has a persistent fever. How should we treat her tonsillitis and fever?
Answer
Generally, for pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics can be given to the child as they are quite effective. Additionally, regional medicated sprays or laser therapy can be considered. If the child primarily has throat pain, parents can administer painkillers to relieve the discomfort. For persistent fever, apply fever reducers promptly. If the temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling can be used. Besides these medication treatments, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can consult with a doctor to consider surgical treatment. Lastly, parents should pay attention to this disease and seek medical treatment as soon as possible. It’s also important to pay attention to related prevention and healthcare work.
