Question
Dear Baby, she is currently 4 years old and has just started feeling a little pain in her throat. I noticed that her voice sounds hoarse when she speaks, and she has had a slight fever as well. How should I treat my child’s sore throat due to tonsillitis?
Answer
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are mainly used. Medications can be selected based on bacterial culture to choose sensitive drugs, which have good effects. While taking the medication, some regional treatments can also be carried out, such as irrigation and direct application of medication, which can consolidate the therapeutic effect. If a child has a sore throat, painkillers can be administered accordingly. If the child continues to have a fever that does not subside, oral antipyretics can be taken. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the illness is controlled to avoid recurrence. Pay attention to a light diet in daily life and consume mainly liquid foods during treatment.
