Question
My daughter is 5 years old and has recently started complaining of a sore throat, accompanied by a slight cough. She currently has a persistent high fever. How should we diagnose and treat her tonsillitis?
Answer
To treat a child’s tonsillitis, you can choose anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance and combine them with local treatment methods such as rinsing or direct medication to enhance the efficacy. For cases with pronounced throat pain, painkillers can be used. If there is a persistent fever, timely application of fever-reducing medication is recommended. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, consider physical cooling. Additionally, surgical treatment is an option for children with recurrent episodes. During the treatment period, ensure that the child gets adequate rest and consumes plenty of vegetables and fruits.
