Question
Dear parents, our daughter is currently 9 years old. Initially, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse. She also had a low-grade fever. How should we treat a child’s sore throat caused by tonsillitis for effective relief?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose suitable antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs for their child under a doctor’s guidance to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Additionally, regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation or injection medications can be considered. If the child primarily exhibits throat pain, pain relievers can be given to ease discomfort. For fever, cooling methods should be selected based on the body temperature. If the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment. After the condition improves, it is recommended to engage in moderate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
