Question
Dear Sir/Madam, my daughter is currently 8 years old. Initially, she felt pain when swallowing water, and noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse during conversation. It seems she has had a low-grade fever that hasn’t subsided. How should red and swollen tonsillitis in children be diagnosed and treated?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory medication can be administered, and regional laser therapy or medication irrigation is recommended. In cases of severe throat pain, some painkillers may be appropriately used. If the fever persists, consider fever reduction. If the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs, it is advisable to consider surgery. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring adequate rest.
