Question
My daughter is 9 years old. She just started feeling a bit of soreness in her throat, accompanied by a slight cough and low-grade fever. How should one effectively treat a child’s sore throat?
Answer
For a better treatment of tonsillitis, one can choose anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance, along with local rinsing or spraying, or intratonsillar injections. These methods are all quite effective. If the primary symptom is throat pain, consider giving the child some painkillers. In case of persistent fever, use antipyretics promptly. If the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to undergo surgery early on, ensuring the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
