Question
Dear parents, my daughter is currently 3 years old. She initially complained of a sore throat and difficulty swallowing. Now she has a persistent high fever. I would like to ask: How should one treat a child’s tonsillitis effectively while they are crying?
Answer
Administer symptomatic antibiotic medication to the child, combining systemic and local treatments. Methods such as tonsil pocket irrigation and direct tonsil injection can be used to enhance the efficacy of treatment. It is recommended to use painkillers to alleviate the sore throat symptoms, and if there is a fever, a suitable amount of fever-reducing medication can be used. However, if the fever persists, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. In severe cases, it is advisable to perform tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides, during which period good dietary hygiene and sufficient rest should be maintained.
