Question

Dear parents, my daughter is currently 9 years old. Initially, she felt a sore throat while speaking, and I noticed that swallowing was a bit difficult, accompanied by a low-grade fever. How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis and fever?

Answer

It is recommended that parents choose suitable antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs under a doctor’s guidance for their child to effectively relieve inflammation symptoms. Additionally, regional treatments can be performed, including tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil intralesional injection, laser therapy, and so on. If the child’s sore throat is severe, painkillers can be administered. For fever symptoms, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is controlled. During this period, ensure your child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
