Question
My daughter is 8 years old. Initially, she felt a sore throat when she spoke, and I noticed that her coughing seemed more severe. She has also had a slight fever. How should a child’s swollen tonsils be treated effectively?
Answer
The treatment for pediatric tonsillitis includes several aspects: parents can administer anti-inflammatory medications to the child, and can also perform regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil intramuscular injection, and laser therapy. In cases of throat pain, painkillers can be given to the child. If the child continues to have a fever, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. Tonsillitis often has a tendency to recur. If similar symptoms occur, once the inflammation is controlled, surgical treatment can be considered. At the same time, attention should be paid to arranging a reasonable diet and rest habits for the child to help them recover as soon as possible.
