Question
My daughter is 7 years old. She just started saying that she feels pain when swallowing, and I noticed that her coughing seems more severe, and she has had a slight fever all the time. How should I treat my child’s sore throat and crying due to tonsillitis?
Answer
You can appropriately administer some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs. For regional treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or drug irrigation. If the symptoms are mainly throat pain, consider giving some analgesics. For those with low fever, physical cooling can be considered. Seek medical attention promptly if the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C. These methods are currently commonly used in the treatment of tonsillitis. In addition, surgery is also a viable option for children with recurrent attacks. During treatment, it is mainly necessary to ensure that the child is well-protected from colds and to avoid exacerbating symptoms.
