Question
My daughter is 4 years old. Initially, she felt pain when drinking water, and I noticed she had a slight cough and had been slightly feverish. How should I treat her tonsillitis effectively?
Answer
Antibiotic medications are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be chosen as appropriate. Regional rinsing or spraying, as well as injecting symptomatic medication into the tonsils, are also effective. In cases where a child’s throat pain is particularly severe, painkillers can be administered. If the child continues to have a fever, apply fever-reducing medication promptly. For temperatures not exceeding 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgery after the condition is controlled to avoid recurrence. At the same time, also pay attention to arranging a reasonable diet and lifestyle for your child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
