Question

Dear parents, my 4-year-old daughter has a sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and a low-grade fever. How should we treat her tonsillitis?

Answer

Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications, regional cleaning or spraying, or symptomatic drug injections can be considered for treatment. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be considered; if there is persistent fever, oral antipyretics can be taken. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, surgery may be recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to supplement nutrition, eat a light diet, and ensure adequate rest to avoid fatigue.
