Question
Dear Parent, my daughter is currently 6 years old. Initially, she felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse, and has had a slight fever all along. How should we treat her tonsillitis with crying and distress?
Answer
In treating this condition, you can give the child symptomatic antibiotic medications, as well as regional rinsing or spraying. Symptomatic medications can also be injected into the tonsils; these treatments are effective. If the child has severe throat pain, painkillers can be administered as appropriate. Some children may also have a fever, in which case they can be given oral fever-reducing drugs. If the symptoms cannot be relieved, it is imperative to seek medical attention. In addition to these medication treatment methods, if the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, it is also recommended to consider surgical treatment. During this period, ensure the child gets plenty of rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
