Question

My daughter has been experiencing throat pain, difficulty swallowing, and fever. How should we treat a child’s tonsillitis?

Answer

The general treatment suggestion is to follow the doctor’s advice, giving the child oral anti-inflammatory medication, and regional medication sprays or laser treatment can be considered. If throat pain is severe, analgesics can be administered as needed to relieve pain. If fever is present, antipyretics can be used as appropriate, but if the fever persists, it should be treated promptly. If the child experiences multiple acute symptoms or has complications, it is recommended to consider tonsillectomy after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, it is important to keep warm and avoid catching a cold to prevent exacerbation of symptoms.
