Question
Dear Baby, she is currently 4 years old. Initially, she felt pain when drinking water, and her voice was a bit hoarse when speaking. Now, she has a persistent high fever. How should we treat a child’s tonsillitis effectively for relief?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, they can initially be treated with targeted antibiotic medications. Additionally, regional treatments can be administered, including tonsil crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injections, and laser therapy. Painkillers can also be given based on the child’s condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, which can help alleviate suffering. If there is also a low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis has the characteristic of recurrent attacks. If similar conditions exist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. Pay attention to a light diet in everyday life, and consume mainly liquid foods during treatment.
