Question
My daughter is 3 years old. She recently started complaining of a sore throat, and I noticed her voice is a bit hoarse when she speaks. It seems she’s had a low-grade fever that hasn’t subsided. How should one treat a child’s tonsillitis effectively?
Answer
For treatment, it’s first recommended to provide symptomatic medications based on the child’s symptoms. For regional treatment, laser therapy or medication irrigation is suggested. If the child has severe throat pain, some painkillers may be used to alleviate the symptoms. For fever, medications with antipyretic effects can be administered. In severe cases, it’s important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. These methods are among the commonly used treatments for tonsillitis. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option for children who have recurrent episodes. Lastly, parents should pay attention to this disease and take their children to seek medical treatment as soon as possible. Also, be sure to do well in related preventive and health care work in daily life.
