Question
My daughter is 3 years old. She started feeling a sore throat when speaking, and her voice sounds a bit hoarse. Additionally, she has a slight fever and seems lackluster. How should I treat her tonsillitis effectively?
Answer
To treat pediatric tonsillitis, parents can first administer some anti-inflammatory medication to the child. Regional treatments can also be considered, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar injections. In cases of throat pain, painkillers can be given to the child. If the child continues to have a persistent fever, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
