Question
Dear parents, my daughter is currently 8 years old and has recently been experiencing sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and a fever. How should we treat a child’s tonsillitis that causes crying?
Answer
It is advised that parents choose suitable antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their child under a doctor’s guidance to help alleviate the inflammatory symptoms. In addition to comprehensive treatment, regional treatment methods such as tonsil lavage and tonsil injections can be considered to enhance the effectiveness of the treatment. If the main symptom is throat pain, consider medication for pain relief and physical cooling(temperature reduction) for low-grade fever. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, seek medical attention promptly. In addition to medication, if the condition recurs, parents can consider surgical treatment under a doctor’s guidance. It is recommended that parents take this disease seriously, bring their child to a doctor for early treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care work in their daily lives.
