Question
My daughter is 3 years old, and she has recently been experiencing throat pain, difficulty swallowing, and a fever. How should we treat her tonsillitis?
Answer
The most common treatment for tonsillitis is the use of antibiotics, which can be assessed for use. In severe cases, regional treatment measures such as tonsil lavage or injection of medication can be considered. If the throat pain is severe, painkillers may be used to relieve symptoms, while also complementing with physical cooling treatments. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment early on. During the treatment process, proper warmth should be maintained to avoid exacerbating the symptoms.
