Question
My daughter is 6 years old. Initially, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and it seemed a bit difficult to swallow. Additionally, she’s been a bit feverish. How should I treat her if she has tonsillitis?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, first use symptomatic antibiotic medications. Additionally, consider regional drug sprays or laser therapy. If the main symptom is throat pain, consider painkillers. For low fever, physical coolingcan be used. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is not effective and there are recurrent episodes, consider surgical treatment. During treatment, ensure the child stays warm to avoid exacerbation of symptoms.
