Question
Dear doctor, my daughter is currently 9 years old and has just started experiencing a sore throat, accompanied by slight coughing and a persistent low-grade fever. How should a child’s sore throat be treated effectively?
Answer
In clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used. The choice of sensitive medication can be made based on bacterial culture, with good results. For regional treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or drug irrigation. In necessary cases, such as when a child has severe throat pain, painkillers can be administered. If the child has a slight fever, it is advisable to consider antipyretic measures. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is required.
