Question
My daughter is 8 years old, and she has been complaining of a sore throat, severe cough, and a high fever recently. How should I treat her if she has tonsillitis, as it can be quite painful?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory medications and local treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injection medications can be administered. For children with significant throat pain, painkillers can be used. If fever is present, fever-reducing medication can also be taken, and it is recommended to seek medical attention early if the fever is high. Surgery is also an option, especially suitable for children with recurrent episodes. During the treatment period, it is important to provide light meals and increase nutritional supplementation to help the child recover quickly.
