Question
My daughter is currently 3 years old and has a sore throat, cough, and low fever. How should I treat her tonsillitis?
Answer
It is recommended for parents to select suitable antibiotic or anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance for their child, which can effectively alleviate the symptoms of inflammation. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatments such as tonsil lavage or injection can also be considered. If the child primarily exhibits throat pain, painkillers may be given to relieve discomfort. Furthermore, if fever is present, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken; if the effect is not satisfactory, medical attention should be sought promptly. If the medication treatment is ineffective and recurrent, consider surgical treatment. Pay attention to a light diet during treatment and consume mainly liquid foods.
