Question

Dear reader, my 9-year-old daughter has recently started experiencing a sore throat and hoarseness while speaking, accompanied by a high fever. What should we do if a child has tonsillitis and it’s very painful, and how can we treat it effectively?

Answer

During treatment, anti-inflammatory medications can be used based on the child’s symptoms. For more severe cases, consider regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation or injections. For children with significant throat pain, painkillers can be used, and fever-reducing medications can be considered if there is fever. If the fever persists, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment as soon as possible. Parents are advised to take the disease seriously, seek medical treatment early, and pay attention to related prevention and health care work.
