Question
A 9-year-old girl is experiencing a sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and a persistent high fever. How should one treat a child’s sore throat during tonsillitis?
Answer
For pediatric tonsillitis, the treatment typically involves antibiotics to control the infection, laser therapy or medication rinses as regional treatment measures. If the child is experiencing severe throat pain, painkillers can be used to alleviate symptoms. If there is a persistent high fever, it is advisable to use fever-reducing medications. Tonsillitis may recur, and surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During the treatment period, it is recommended to have the child consume light foods and enhance nutritional supplementation to promote recovery. Thank you for your inquiry.
