Question
My daughter is 6 years old. Initially, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and she has a slight cough. Now, she has a high fever that won’t go down. How should we treat her young children’s tonsillitis crying effectively?
Answer
Currently, in clinical treatment of young children’s tonsillitis, antibiotic medication is mainly used, and the choice of sensitive medication can be made based on bacterial culture, which is effective. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatment can also be carried out, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or tonsil injection with medication. Painkillers can also be administered according to the child’s condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, which can help alleviate the pain. If the child still has a fever, some antipyretics can be taken as appropriate. However, if the fever persists, it is imperative to seek medical attention promptly. These are some commonly used treatment methods. But if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to have surgery as soon as possible. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
