Question
My daughter is 4 years old. She started with a slight pain in her throat, accompanied by a mild cough. She also has a bit of a fever and seems less energetic. How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis, as she is crying and restless?
Answer
When treating such diseases, you can give your child some symptomatic antibiotic medications, and also combine them with some regional treatment methods, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections, which are quite effective. If the child primarily has a sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving some painkillers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child also has a fever, it is appropriate to give some fever-reducing medicine. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the illness is controlled to avoid recurrence. Finally, I hope parents can pay attention to this disease and take their children for medical treatment as soon as possible. Also, be sure to pay attention to related preventive and health care work in daily life.
