Question
My daughter is 5 years old. She just started saying that her throat hurts, and I noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. She also has a slight fever and doesn’t seem energetic. How should I treat her for tonsillitis?
Answer
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some medications with anti-inflammatory effects under the guidance of a doctor. Additionally, you can administer local drug sprays or undergo laser therapy. If the child’s throat is particularly painful, some painkillers may be considered. Some children may also have a fever, in which case you can give the child oral antipyretics. If the symptoms do not subside, it is imperative to seek medical attention. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. After the condition improves, it is suggested to encourage the child to engage in moderate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
