Question
Dear Baby Girl, 8 years old, has recently started complaining of throat pain and a slight cough, accompanied by persistent high fever. How should one treat the pain caused by tonsillitis in children?
Answer
To effectively treat tonsillitis, one can choose anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance, including systemic and regional treatments, such as tonsil area cleaning or internal medication injection. If the throat pain is severe, painkillers can be considered to alleviate symptoms. If fever is present, oral antipyretics can be taken. If the symptoms do not subside, medical assistance should be sought. For recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be an option. It is recommended that parents take the disease seriously, seek medical treatment early, and strengthen preventive and health care efforts.
