Question
How to treat a child’s crying and fussing due to tonsillitis? My 9-year-old daughter is experiencing sore throat, severe cough, and persistent low fever. What should I do for treatment?
Answer
It is usually recommended to follow the doctor’s orders and administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child. At the same time, regional treatment methods can be adopted, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injection medications. Additionally, painkillers can be used for severe pain, and antipyretic drugs should be taken when feverish. If the symptoms are severe, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. Tonsillitis has a tendency to recur, and after controlling the inflammation, surgery can be considered if similar situations arise. Pay attention to light and easy-to-digest food in daily life, and mainly consume liquid foods during the treatment period.
