Question

My daughter is 7 years old. She has a sore throat, hoarse voice, and a persistent fever. How should we treat her for tonsillitis?

Answer

Generally, it is recommended to take oral anti-inflammatory drugs while also undergoing regional therapy, such as gargling or direct medication, to enhance the efficacy. For severe throat pain, painkillers can be considered, and physical coolingmethods can be used for low-grade fevers. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there are recurrent episodes, surgery may be an option. Parents should pay attention to early medical treatment and focus on preventive health care.
