Question
My daughter is currently 8 years old. Initially, she felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse while talking, and has had a slight fever all along. How should a child with crying tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
To treat pediatric tonsillitis, parents can first give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. For regional treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or medication irrigation. For children with prominent throat pain, painkillers can be used. Those with fever symptoms can take antipyretic drugs. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly, and consider surgical treatment for children with recurrent episodes. Lastly, parents should take this disease seriously and seek medical treatment for their child as soon as possible. They should also pay attention to preventive and health care measures in their daily lives.
