Question
Dear parents, my daughter is currently 4 years old and has just started to complain of a sore throat, and I’ve noticed that her coughing seems more severe, and she has a persistent high fever. How can one treat a child’s tonsillitis effectively?
Answer
If a child is diagnosed with tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory medication can be administered to alleviate symptoms. In addition to systemic treatment, regional therapy can be chosen to enhance efficacy, which may include hidden crypt irrigation, direct tonsil injection of medication, etc. If the primary symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be considered. If the child still has a fever, it is advisable to take antipyretic medication. However, if the fever persists, it is imperative to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to the above medication treatment methods, if the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, it is also recommended to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is crucial to ensure the child’s warmth and avoid catching a cold to exacerbate symptoms.
