Question
My daughter is 8 years old and has recently started feeling a sore throat, which is uncomfortable even when she drinks water. She also has a slight cough and is accompanied by a low-grade fever. How should a child with a sore throat and high fever be effectively treated?
Answer
To effectively treat tonsillitis, one can choose anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance, or consider regional treatments such as laser therapy or medication rinses. If the throat pain is severe, painkillers can be given to alleviate symptoms. If there is a fever, it should be reduced appropriately. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought promptly. If tonsillitis frequently recurs, surgery may be recommended. Parents should also ensure warmth to prevent colds from triggering another inflammation.
