Question
My daughter, who is 4 years old, has just started complaining of a sore throat, accompanied by a slight cough and low-grade fever. How should one effectively treat children’s tonsillitis?
Answer
Treatment should first involve symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication, and concurrent regional treatments such as rinsing or direct medication can reinforce the efficacy. If the sore throat is severe, some painkillers may be appropriate. If the child continues to have a fever, oral antipyretics can be administered. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes, so after controlling the inflammation, surgery may be considered. During treatment, it’s important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
