Question
My daughter is 6 years old. Initially, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and she has been experiencing severe coughing. Now, she has a persistent fever that won’t go down. How should I treat my child’s sore throat and swollen tonsils for the best effect?
Answer
To achieve a better treatment for tonsillitis, it is advisable to select some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, and also consider complementary regional treatment methods, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections, which are quite effective. If the symptoms are mainly sore throat, painkillers can be considered. If the child continues to have a fever, apply antipyretic medication promptly. For temperatures not exceeding 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical coolingcan be used. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent attacks. If similar situations occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is also important to arrange for a light diet for the child, strengthen nutritional supplementation, and help them recover as soon as possible.
