Question
Dear Baby, currently 9 years old, at first, there was a bit of pain in the throat, and I noticed that the coughing seemed more severe. At the same time, there was a low fever. How should a child with sore throat due to tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, symptomatic medications can be administered. Additionally, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can be considered. If the child’s sore throat is severe, it is recommended to give some painkillers according to the situation. For those with low fever, physical cooling can be used. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is also recommended to consider surgical treatment. Pay attention to light and healthy eating habits during the treatment period, with a focus on liquid foods.
