Question
Dear parents, my daughter is currently 4 years old and has recently been experiencing a sore throat, severe cough, and low-grade fever. Her tonsils are inflamed and very painful. What treatment methods would be most effective?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance to effectively alleviate the symptoms of inflammation. Additionally, regional treatments can be considered, including tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil intramuscular injections, and laser therapy. If the primary symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be administered. If the child has a fever, a small amount of fever-reducing medicine can be used. However, if the fever persists, it is imperative to seek medical attention promptly. These are some commonly used treatment methods. But if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment as soon as possible. During this period, ensure that the child gets adequate rest and consumes plenty of vegetables and fruits.
