Question
Dear parents, my daughter is currently 3 years old. Initially, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and I noticed her voice was a bit hoarse during conversation. Additionally, she had a low-grade fever. How can we effectively treat her tonsillitis to alleviate the pain?
Answer
Antibiotics are commonly used for the treatment of tonsillitis and can be chosen appropriately. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatment can also be carried out, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injection. If the sore throat is severe, some painkillers can be administered. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be given. If the fever cannot be relieved, it is essential to seek medical attention. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as soon as possible. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
