Question
Dear readers, my daughter is only 8 months old. Initially, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Moreover, she has a persistent high fever now. How should we diagnose and treat sore throat caused by tonsillitis in children?
Answer
To achieve a better treatment for sore throat caused by tonsillitis, choose some anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance and undergo regional treatments such as rinsing. If the child experiences severe sore throat, consider giving painkillers to alleviate symptoms. At the same time, control low-grade fever using physical cooling methods. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis often has a recurrent feature; if similar conditions exist, surgical treatment can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. Additionally, pay attention to arranging reasonable dietary and rest habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
