Question
My daughter is 5 years old and has reported a sore throat, cough, and low fever. How should I treat her tonsillitis?
Answer
It is advised for parents to choose suitable antibiotic or anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance to alleviate the inflammatory symptoms. In severe cases, regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation or injections may be considered. If there is throat pain, appropriate painkillers can be administered, along with physical cooling (temperature reduction). If the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought promptly. If the child experiences recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered, and dietary nutrition should be paid attention to in order to promote recovery.
