Question
My daughter is 5 years old. She recently started saying she has a sore throat, and I noticed her voice is a bit hoarse when she speaks. Additionally, she’s been running a slight fever. How should I treat her tonsillitis crying and distress effectively?
Answer
Antibiotic medications are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be chosen as appropriate. Regional rinsing or spraying, as well as the injection of symptomatic medication into the tonsils, are also effective options. In cases of sore throat, you can give the child some painkillers. If the child continues to have a persistent fever, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. These methods are among the most commonly used for treating tonsillitis. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option for children who have recurrent episodes. At the same time, it’s important to pay attention to giving your child a reasonable diet and sleep habits to help the illness recover as soon as possible.
