Question
My daughter is 6 years old and has recently been experiencing a sore throat, hoarseness, and a persistent low-grade fever. Could this be due to tonsillitis? What are the most effective treatment methods?
Answer
When a child has tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory medication can be used, and regional application of medication sprays or laser therapy can also be considered. If the child’s main symptom is throat pain, it is recommended to give a moderate amount of pain reliever to alleviate the pain. If the child has a slight fever, consider fever-reducing measures as appropriate. If the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. These are common treatment methods. If the child’s tonsillitis frequently recurs, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible and pay attention to a light diet during treatment, focusing on easily digestible fluids.
