Question
Dear parents, our daughter is currently 4 years old. She has just started to complain of a sore throat while speaking, and we’ve noticed that her cough is quite severe. Additionally, it seems like she has had a low-grade fever that hasn’t gone away. How should we treat our child’s tonsillitis effectively?
Answer
Generally, a child’s tonsillitis can be treated with antibiotics and supplemented with regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation and injection medications. If there is throat pain, painkillers can be administered in appropriate amounts. Fever can be treated with antipyretic drugs, and in severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention early. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment as soon as possible. Parents should pay close attention to timely medical treatment and also focus on prevention and health care.
