Question

Dear parents, my daughter is currently 5 years old. She initially complained of pain when swallowing, and I noticed that she has been coughing quite severely, and she’s had a slight fever as well. What should we do to effectively treat her tonsillitis if it’s very painful?

Answer

To achieve a better treatment for tonsillitis, it is advisable to choose some symptomatic anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance, and also combine some regional treatment methods, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injection medications, which are quite effective. If the child has a sore throat, some painkillers can be administered accordingly. If the child still has a fever, it is appropriate to take some antipyretic medication. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. These methods are currently among the most commonly used for treating tonsillitis. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option for children who experience recurrent episodes. Lastly, parents should pay attention to this disease and bring their children for treatment as soon as possible. It is also important to do well in related prevention and health care work in daily life.
