Question
Dear parents, our daughter, currently 5 years old, has been complaining of a sore throat, and we’ve noticed difficulty in swallowing. She seems to have a persistent low-grade fever. How should we treat her tonsillitis pain?
Answer
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications are the primary treatment methods for clinical pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose medications based on symptoms, and can also opt for regional cleaning or spraying. Additionally, painkillers can be administered according to the child’s condition, especially when there is severe throat pain. If fever is present, it is recommended to take fever-reducing medicine. If the high fever persists, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to medication, if the child experiences frequent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment. At the same time, pay attention to a light diet, enhance nutritional supplementation, and aid recovery.
