Question
My daughter is 4 years old. She started to complain of a sore throat while speaking, and I noticed her voice was a bit hoarse. Additionally, she seems to have a low-grade fever that hasn’t gone away. How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis effectively?
Answer
Antibiotics are commonly used for the treatment of tonsillitis and can be chosen as appropriate. In addition, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can be considered. For children with severe throat pain, pain-relieving medications can be administered. If the child has a persistent fever, parents should give fever-reducing medications or take the child to the hospital immediately. These are some of the more common treatment methods. However, if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgery as soon as possible. After the condition improves, it is suggested to let the child engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
