Question
Dear parents, my daughter is currently 7 years old. Initially, she said her throat was sore, and I noticed her voice was a bit hoarse during conversation. Additionally, she seems to have had a low-grade fever that hasn’t subsided. How should we treat her tonsillitis effectively?
Answer
To effectively treat tonsillitis, one should choose symptomatic medications with anti-inflammatory effects under a doctor’s guidance and also combine with regional treatment methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injection medications. Painkillers can also be administered based on the child’s condition, particularly when the throat pain is severe, which can help alleviate suffering. If the child has a persistent fever, parents should also give fever-reducing medications or take the child to the hospital immediately. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgery as soon as possible. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
