Question
Dear Parent, my daughter is currently 7 years old. Initially, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and it seems her coughing has become more severe. She also has a bit of a fever and seems less energetic. How should we treat her tonsillitis and swollen throat for the best results?
Answer
When treating this condition, consider administering symptomatic antibiotic medications to the child, as well as regional applications of medication, such as intratonsillar injections. If the child experiences severe throat pain, it is recommended to provide pain relief. If there is a fever, a moderate dose of antipyretic medication can be given. However, if the fever persists, it is imperative to seek medical attention promptly. After the condition stabilizes, consider surgical treatment to prevent recurrence. Pay attention to a light diet, and mainly consume liquid foods during the treatment period.
