Question

My daughter is 9 years old. Initially, she said she felt pain when swallowing, and I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, she’s been a bit feverish. How should one treat tonsillitis-induced sore throat in children?

Answer

If a child has tonsillitis, appropriate antibiotic medication can be used for treatment. In severe cases, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or medication injections can be considered. If the child’s main symptom is throat pain, some painkillers can be given to relieve discomfort. If the child continues to have a fever, consider using fever-reducing medication or seeking immediate medical attention. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery early on. It is advised that parents pay attention to this disease, seek medical treatment as soon as possible, and pay attention to relevant prevention and health care work in their daily lives.
