Question
Dear Baby, currently 8 years old, at first, she said her throat was sore, and it was discovered that her voice was a bit hoarse when speaking, and she seemed to have a low fever that never went away. Please ask: How can a child’s tonsillitis be treated effectively to relieve discomfort?
Answer
Antibiotic medications are currently the most commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be chosen as appropriate. For regional treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or drug irrigation. If the child has severe throat pain, it is suggested to give some painkillers according to the situation. If the child keeps having a fever, parents should also give some fever-reducing medicine, or take the child to the hospital immediately. If the child has recurrent tonsillitis, it is recommended to undergo surgery as soon as possible. During the treatment period, attention should also be paid to maintaining good dietary hygiene and ensuring enough rest time.
