Question
Dear parents, my daughter is currently 5 years old. She has just started experiencing a slight sore throat, accompanied by mild coughing and a bit of fever with a lack of energy. How should we treat her tonsillitis effectively when she is crying and restless?
Answer
To effectively treat tonsillitis, it is recommended to select symptomatic anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance. Additionally, regional treatments can include tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil intramuscular injections, and laser therapy. If the child experiences significant throat pain, painkillers may be administered. In cases of fever, choose a cooling method based on body temperature; for temperatures below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used, while oral fever-reducing medications are appropriate for higher temperatures.
