Question
My daughter is 9 years old. She started with a sore throat, and I noticed her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke. Now, she has a high fever that doesn’t seem to go away. What are the best treatment methods for pediatric tonsillitis, as it can be quite painful?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s orders and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. If the child’s condition is severe, regional treatments can also be considered, including tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections. If the child has severe throat pain, painkillers can be administered based on the situation. If the child continues to have a fever, parents should also give some fever-reducing medication or immediately take the child to the hospital. For those with recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgical treatment may be considered. Pay attention to a light diet in daily life, and consume mainly liquid foods during treatment.
