Question
Dear parents, my daughter is currently 5 years old and has just started to feel a sore throat while speaking. I noticed that her voice sounds a bit hoarse, and she also has a low-grade fever. How should one treat pediatric tonsillitis effectively?
Answer
The treatment usually involves administering symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication and may be supplemented with local treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections. Painkillers can be considered to relieve throat pain if necessary. If the fever persists, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be considered. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and work and rest habits to aid in the child’s recovery.
