Question
My daughter is 5 years old. She recently started complaining of a sore throat and has difficulty swallowing. She also has a slight fever and seems lackluster. How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis when they are crying?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, regional treatments can be performed, including tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil intramuscular injections, and laser therapy. If the child has a sore throat, some painkillers can be administered. If the child has a fever, it should be treated appropriately. If the fever exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider surgery as soon as possible. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child’s warmth and avoid catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
