Question
My daughter is 6 years old. Initially, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and I noticed that her coughing seemed more severe, and she seemed to have a low-grade fever that hasn’t gone away. How should one effectively treat children’s tonsillitis?
Answer
In treating this type of disease, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotics, and regional treatments can be carried out, including tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil intralesional injection, and laser therapy. If the child’s primary symptom is throat pain, parents can consider giving some painkillers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child continues to have a fever that does not subside, oral antipyretics can be taken. If the child experiences recurrent tonsillitis, it is recommended to undergo surgery as soon as possible. During treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child, strengthen nutritional supplementation, and help them recover as soon as possible.
