Question
My daughter is 9 years old. She started to complain of a sore throat when she began talking, accompanied by a slight cough and fever. The pain from her tonsillitis is quite severe. How should it be treated?
Answer
When treating such conditions, symptomatic antibiotic medications can be administered to the child, along with regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or internal injections. For children with pronounced throat pain, painkillers can be used. If fever is present, antipyretic medication can be taken, and it is recommended to seek medical attention early if there is a high fever. In addition to medication, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to keep warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
