Question
My daughter is 7 years old. She just started saying that she feels pain when drinking water in her throat. I noticed that she also has a slight cough and a bit of a fever and seems less energetic. What should I do to treat her tonsillitis pain?
Answer
You can appropriately administer some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs, and at the same time, you can also carry out some regional treatments, such as rinsing or direct medication, to consolidate the therapeutic effect. If the child has significant throat pain, painkillers can be administered as needed. For low-grade fever, physical cooling can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°, medical attention should be sought promptly. For those with recurrent inflammatory attacks, surgical treatment may be considered. Lastly, I hope that parents can pay attention to this disease and seek medical treatment for their children as soon as possible. Also, it’s important to pay attention to preventive and health care measures in everyday life.
