Question
My daughter is 9 years old. She started to feel a sore throat when she spoke, and I noticed that her coughing seems more severe. She also has a bit of a fever and isn’t very energetic. What should I do to treat the crying and fussiness caused by children’s tonsillitis?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, it is first considered to use appropriate antibiotic treatment, and regional treatments can also be chosen to enhance the efficacy, such as cryptorchid irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the child’s main symptom is throat pain, a pain reliever can be administered in moderation to alleviate discomfort. If the child continues to have a fever, an oral antipyretic can be given. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment as soon as possible. At the same time, pay attention to providing the child with reasonable dietary and lifestyle habits to assist in the early recovery from the disease.
