Question
Dear Parent, my daughter is currently 2 years old and has just started experiencing a sore throat while speaking. I’ve noticed that her coughing seems more severe as well, and she seems to have a persistent low-grade fever. How should one treat a child’s sore throat caused by tonsillitis?
Answer
To effectively treat tonsillitis, it is advisable to select anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance. Regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation and intratonsillar injections can also be considered. If the child primarily experiences sore throat symptoms, parents may consider giving some painkillers to relieve the discomfort. Additionally, if fever is present, some antipyretics can be taken. In case of high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly.
