Question
My daughter is 5 years old. She recently started to feel a sore throat when talking, and I noticed her voice was a bit hoarse, accompanied by a low-grade fever. How can we effectively treat pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, it is recommended to provide anti-inflammatory medication as a treatment. Additionally, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can be considered. If the symptoms are mainly sore throat, painkillers can be given. If the child continues to have a fever, parents should also administer antipyretic medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. In addition to these drug treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is also advisable to consider surgical treatment. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
