Question
My daughter is 6 years old. Initially, she said her throat hurt when swallowing and drinking water. It was also discovered that her coughing was quite severe, and she seemed to have a persistent low fever. How should a child with a sore throat due to tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture. Additionally, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can be administered, and painkillers can be given according to the child’s condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, which can help alleviate the discomfort. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also administer fever-reducing medications or immediately take the child to the hospital.
