Question
My daughter is 8 years old. Initially, she felt pain when speaking and drinking water, with difficulty swallowing. Now, she still has a high fever. What are the treatment methods for children’s tonsillitis?
Answer
For the treatment of children’s tonsillitis, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and administer anti-inflammatory medications to the child, and regional treatments such as rinsing or direct application of medication can be performed to enhance the effectiveness of the treatment. If the child has obvious symptoms of throat pain, some painkillers can be given. If the child still has a fever, a moderate amount of antipyretic medication can be used. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these common treatment methods, if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment as early as possible. Moreover, parents should ensure that the child stays warm to prevent colds from causing a recurrence of tonsillitis.
