Question
My 8-year-old daughter has been experiencing a sore throat while speaking, accompanied by a slight cough and low-grade fever recently. How should we handle her tonsillitis?
Answer
Generally, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and give the child anti-inflammatory medication. Regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or internal medication injections can also be considered. If the throat pain is severe, pain relievers may be used for relief. If there is a fever, choose a cooling method based on the body temperature. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, early surgery should be considered. At the same time, pay attention to balanced nutrition and rest arrangements to promote recovery.
