Question
Dear parents, my daughter is 9 years old, she has recently been experiencing a sore throat that is painful when drinking water, coughing, and a persistent fever. How can we effectively treat her tonsillitis?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose the appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs under a doctor’s guidance to alleviate the inflammatory symptoms. Regional treatments can consider laser therapy or drug irrigation. If the throat pain is severe, some painkillers can be administered. For persistent fever, timely use of fever-reducing medication is necessary; physical cooling methods can be used if the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, surgical treatment can be considered, while also paying attention to providing light meals, increasing nutritional supplements, and promoting early recovery.
