Question
My 8-year-old daughter has a sore throat, hoarse voice, and fever with a lack of energy. How should I treat her pediatric tonsillitis throat pain for the best results?
Answer
Consider using antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for treatment. In severe cases, regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation or injections may be combined. If throat pain is severe, painkillers can be administered as needed. If there is a fever, appropriate measures should be taken to lower the temperature. If the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought promptly. If there are repeated acute severe episodes or complications have already occurred, it is recommended to perform tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Parents should pay attention to keeping warm and avoid catching a cold to prevent recurrent tonsillitis.
