Question
My daughter is 8 years old and recently has been experiencing symptoms such as a sore throat while speaking, severe coughing, fever, and lack of energy. How should a child’s tonsillitis be treated for recovery?
Answer
To effectively treat tonsillitis, one should opt for anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s supervision and undergo local treatments such as gargling or applying topical medications to reinforce the treatment. If the throat pain is severe, painkillers may be considered; if there is a fever, it should be determined whether to use fever-reducing medication based on the body temperature, and medical assistance should be sought if the temperature exceeds 40 degrees. For recurrent episodes, surgical treatment may be considered. After the condition improves, encourage your child to engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and reduce the chance of recurrence.
