Question
My daughter is 7 years old and has recently been experiencing throat pain, difficulty swallowing, and a low-grade fever that hasn’t subsided. How can I effectively treat her tonsillitis throat pain?
Answer
For children with tonsillitis, the primary treatment is to have the child take anti-inflammatory medication while also undergoing local treatments, such as throat irrigation or direct application of medication, which can accelerate recovery. If the throat pain is severe, painkillers may be considered to relieve symptoms. If there is a fever, it should be managed appropriately; if it exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical assistance should be sought. In addition to medication, if the condition frequently recurs, parents may consider surgical treatment options. Moreover, it’s important to ensure that the child maintains a light diet, focusing on liquid foods.
