Question
Dear parents, my daughter is currently 4 years old and has just started experiencing a sore throat. She also seems to have a more severe cough and has a slight fever with a lack of energy. How should we treat her swollen tonsils with pharyngitis?
Answer
It is recommended that parents select appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs for their child under a doctor’s guidance to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. For regional treatment, laser therapy or drug irrigation is suggested, and painkillers can be administered for throat pain. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If the symptoms cannot be relieved, it is imperative to seek medical attention. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the illness is controlled to avoid recurrence. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage your child to engage in moderate exercise to boost immunity and prevent future outbreaks.
