Question
My daughter is 4 years old and has recently started feeling a sore throat, with her voice a bit hoarse, and she has been running a low fever. How should one effectively treat a child’s tonsillitis?
Answer
In clinical treatment of children’s tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used, with the selection of sensitive drugs based on bacterial culture, which yields good results. Additionally, regional spray or laser therapy can be considered for the main symptoms of sore throat, and it is recommended to use painkillers in appropriate amounts to alleviate pain. If there is a fever, it should be brought down promptly, and if the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought immediately. The above methods are commonly used in treatment. If tonsillitis frequently recurs, it is advisable to consider early surgery and ensure that the child gets ample rest and consumes plenty of fruits and vegetables.
