Question
Dear Baby, currently 5 years old. She feels a sore throat when speaking, accompanied by a slight cough and low fever. How should a child with a sore throat and crying due to tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
When treating such diseases, you can give the child some symptomatic antibiotic medications, as well as regional medications such as tonsil crypt irrigation and intratonsillar injections. If the sore throat is severe, you can appropriately administer some painkillers. If there is also a low fever, you can physically reduce the fever. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, seek medical attention promptly. If your child often has this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During this period, ensure that the child gets plenty of rest and eats more vegetables and fruits.
