Question
My daughter is 7 years old and has a sore throat with severe coughing and a slight fever. How should I treat her sore throat and tonsillitis?
Answer
When a child has tonsillitis, consider giving anti-inflammatory medications and using local anesthetic sprays or laser therapy. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers may be considered. If the child has a fever, it should be treated accordingly; if the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought promptly. For children with recurrent episodes, surgery may be considered. During treatment, it is advisable to moderately supplement nutrition, eat a light diet, and ensure adequate rest to avoid fatigue.
