Question
My daughter is currently 3 years old and has symptoms such as sore throat, hoarseness, and low-grade fever. How should we treat the sore throat caused by pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
It is suggested that parents choose suitable antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs under a doctor’s guidance to administer to the child, which can alleviate inflammatory symptoms. At the same time, regional treatments can be carried out, such as gargling or regional drug application, to consolidate the efficacy of treatment. Painkillers can be given if necessary, such as when the child’s fever exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention should be sought. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, consider surgical treatment, and ensure adequate nutrition, light diet, and adequate rest to avoid fatigue.
