Question
Dear Parent, my daughter is currently 4 years old and has recently been complaining of a sore throat with a slight cough. She now has a high fever. How should I treat her tonsillitis?
Answer
When a child has tonsillitis, appropriate antibiotic treatment can be administered initially, along with regional therapies such as cleaning the tonsil cavity and administering medication via tonsil injections. If there is throat pain, painkillers can be taken. For fever, antipyretics should be used. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly if the fever persists. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, surgery may be considered. During treatment, keep the child warm and avoid catching a cold to prevent exacerbation of symptoms.
