Question
My daughter is 2 years old. Lately, she has had a sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and a lack of energy with a fever. The pain from her tonsillitis is quite severe. What treatment methods should be used?
Answer
It is advisable for parents to select appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs under a doctor’s guidance to effectively alleviate the inflammatory symptoms. At the same time, regional treatment methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation and direct injection of medication into the tonsils can be considered to enhance the efficacy. If the child experiences severe throat pain, painkillers can be used to relieve symptoms. In cases of fever, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If the symptoms cannot be alleviated, it is essential to seek medical attention. If the treatment is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. Parents should take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment for their child early on, and pay attention to preventive health care in their daily lives.
