Question
My daughter is 3 years old. Initially, she said she felt pain when swallowing, and I noticed that her coughing seemed more severe. Additionally, she has a bit of a fever and seems less energetic. What should I do to effectively treat tonsillitis in children who are crying and restless?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, you can first use symptomatic antibiotic medications, and also consider regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation and intra-tonsillar injections. If the pain in the throat is severe, you can give some painkillers. Additionally, if there is a fever, you can take some antipyretics. In case of high fever, it is recommended to seek medical attention early. Tonsillitis has a tendency to recur, so after controlling the inflammation, consider surgery if there are similar conditions. During the treatment, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
