Question
My daughter is 8 years old, and she has been experiencing a sore throat, hoarse voice, and a persistent high fever recently. How can I effectively treat her tonsillitis to relieve the sore throat?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory medications can be administered based on the symptoms. Local treatment is recommended with laser therapy or medication irrigation. If the main symptom is sore throat, painkillers can be considered. If fever is present, a suitable amount of antipyretic medication can be taken. If the fever persists, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, surgery may be considered. During treatment, keep warm and avoid catching a cold to prevent exacerbation of symptoms.
