Question
Dear parents, my daughter is currently 7 years old. Initially, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and I noticed that her cough seemed more severe, and she’s been running a slight fever. I would like to know how to treat her tonsillitis effectively.
Answer
It is appropriate to administer some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatment can also be performed, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If necessary, such as when the child’s throat pain is particularly severe, some painkillers can be given. If there is a fever, choose a method of cooling based on the body temperature; for temperatures below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling can be used, while for temperatures above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral antipyretics can be taken. In addition to the above medication treatment methods, if the child frequently develops tonsillitis, it is also recommended to consider surgical treatment. Lastly, I hope parents can pay attention to this disease and take their child to the doctor for treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, it is also important to do well in related prevention and health care work.
