Question
Dear parents, our daughter is currently 6 years old. She first experienced a sore throat, pain when drinking water, coughing, and high fever. How should we treat her tonsillitis?
Answer
Treatment for tonsillitis can include symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication, regional rinsing or spraying, and the injection of symptomatic medication into the tonsils. For sore throat symptoms, parents may consider using pain relief medication; if there is a fever, antipyretic medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
