Question
How to treat a child’s sore throat caused by tonsillitis?
Answer
The primary treatment for a child’s tonsillitis is to administer anti-inflammatory medications. Additionally, regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation, intratonsillar injections of medication, and laser therapy can be considered. For children with severe throat pain, painkillers can be used. If there is a fever, a suitable amount of fever-reducing medicine can be taken, but if the fever persists, it is imperative to seek medical attention immediately. If there is a recurrent inflammatory condition, surgical treatment can be considered. During this period, the child should rest sufficiently and consume plenty of fruits and vegetables.
