Question
My daughter is 8 years old and has recently been experiencing a sore throat, cough, and low fever. Could this be tonsillitis? How should it be treated?
Answer
Antibiotics are commonly used to treat tonsillitis, and regional drug sprays or laser therapy can also be considered. For throat pain, painkillers can be administered, and fever-reducing medication can be taken if there are fever symptoms. If the condition is severe, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. If there are repeated acute symptoms or complications, it is recommended to undergo tonsillectomy about two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Pay attention to light and healthy eating habits, and consume mainly liquid foods during treatment.
