Question
How should one treat a child’s sore throat caused by tonsillitis?
Answer
The methods for treating pediatric tonsillitis mainly include the following points: Firstly, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medications and pay attention to regional treatments such as rinsing while taking the medicine to consolidate the efficacy. If the main symptom is throat pain, consider giving the child some painkillers. If the child has a mild fever, a small amount of fever-reducing medicine can be administered. However, if the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. For children with frequent severe attacks or complications, it is recommended to undergo tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with light and easy-to-swallow foods.
