Question
My daughter is 6 years old and has recently been experiencing sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and a lack of energy with fever. How should we treat her tonsillitis?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory medication can be used. When choosing regional treatment, it is recommended to consider laser therapy or medication rinsing. If there is severe throat pain, painkillers can be considered. If accompanied by fever, antipyretics can be taken. If the fever is high, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis often recurs, and after controlling the inflammation, surgery can be considered. At the same time, make sure the child gets plenty of rest and consumes a diet rich in vegetables and fruits.
