Question
Dear Parent, my daughter is currently 7 years old. Initially, she complained that drinking water was painful and noticed that her cough seemed more severe. Additionally, she seems to have a persistent low fever. How should I treat a crying child with tonsillitis?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance for their child to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. For regional treatment, laser therapy or medication irrigation is suggested. If the symptoms are mainly throat pain, consider giving some painkillers. Some children may also have fever, in which case you can give your child oral antipyretics. If the symptoms cannot be relieved, it is imperative to seek medical attention. In addition to these medication treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can consult with a doctor to consider surgery for treatment. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
