Question
Dear parents, my daughter is currently 4 years old. Initially, she had a slight sore throat, and I noticed that she was coughing more severely and had a bit of a fever and seemed lackluster. How should we treat her painful tonsillitis?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, symptomatic antibiotic medication can be used first. Additionally, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can be administered. In cases of sore throat, painkillers can be given to the child. If the child still has a fever, some fever-reducing medication can be considered. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. For those with recurrent inflammation, surgery may be considered. Moreover, parents should ensure proper warmth for their child to prevent colds from triggering another episode of tonsillitis.
