Question
My daughter is 7 years old. Initially, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and her voice was a bit hoarse. She also had a slight fever and seemed listless. How should I treat my child’s crying due to tonsillitis?
Answer
Antibiotics are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be chosen appropriately. For regional treatment, it is recommended to opt for laser therapy or medication irrigation. If the child’s main symptom is throat pain, parents can consider giving some painkillers to relieve the discomfort. Additionally, if there is a fever, some fever-reducing medicine can be taken. In case of high fever, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. For those with recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgical treatment can be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child stays warm and avoid catching a cold to exacerbate the symptoms.
