Question
Dear Baby Girl, currently 8 years old, recently has been experiencing pain in the throat while drinking water and coughing. Accompanied by persistent low fever, what should be the treatment for children’s tonsillitis?
Answer
For the treatment of children’s tonsillitis, it is recommended to follow medical instructions, administer anti-inflammatory medications, and consider regional treatments for the tonsils, such as rinsing, internal medication injections, and laser therapy. For severe throat pain symptoms, painkillers may be considered. If fever is present, choose a cooling method based on body temperature; below 38.5 degrees Celsius, consider physical cooling methods, and above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral antipyretics can be taken. If children’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider surgery as early as possible. During the treatment period, ensure adequate warmth and avoid catching a cold to worsen symptoms.
