Question
My daughter is 4 years old, and she has recently started complaining of a sore throat, accompanied by a slight cough and low-grade fever, and she seems lackluster. How should a child’s sore throat and tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
The treatment of a child’s tonsillitis can involve selecting the appropriate antibiotic based on the results of a bacterial culture, along with regional drug sprays or laser therapy. For the child’s condition, analgesics can be considered to alleviate severe throat pain. If the child continues to have a fever, parents can consider using fever-reducing medication or seeking immediate medical attention. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider surgery early on, while also paying attention to reasonable dietary and rest arrangements to help the child recover sooner.
