Question
My daughter is 9 years old and has just started experiencing a slight sore throat, accompanied by a mild cough and low-grade fever. How should we effectively treat her tonsillitis and crying?
Answer
For a more effective treatment of tonsillitis, one should choose some anti-inflammatory drugs under a doctor’s guidance, or opt for regional rinsing or spraying. Injections of symptomatic medication can also be administered within the tonsils, which are all effective treatments. If the symptoms are mainly throat pain, consider giving some painkillers. If the child continues to have a fever, apply antipyretic medication promptly. For temperatures not exceeding 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used. However, if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgery as soon as possible. During this period, ensure the child gets ample rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
