Question
Dear Sir/Madam, my daughter is currently 4 years old. Initially, she mentioned a sore throat, and I noticed that her coughing seems more severe, and she has had a low-grade fever that hasn’t subsided. How should we treat her tonsillitis effectively when she is crying and distressed?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be administered. It is recommended to choose laser therapy or pharmacological irrigation for regional treatment. If the sore throat is severe, some painkillers can be appropriately given. Additionally, if there is a fever, antipyretics can be taken, and it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible during a high fever. If the child frequently experiences this condition, after the condition is controlled, surgery can be considered to prevent recurrence. During this period, ensure that the child gets adequate rest and consumes plenty of vegetables and fruits.
