Question
Dear Parent, my daughter is currently 2 years old. She has been experiencing pain when speaking or drinking water, her voice is a bit hoarse, and she has a slight fever with a lack of energy. How should I treat her tonsillitis and sore throat effectively?
Answer
The treatment for infants and young children with tonsillitis and sore throat can include antibiotic medications, which are one of the commonly used treatment methods. Additionally, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can be administered. If the child’s sore throat symptoms are severe, it is recommended to use some painkillers to relieve the symptoms. If the child keeps running a fever, parents can give fever-reducing medications or take the child to the hospital immediately. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents may consult with a doctor to consider surgical treatment. While treating the condition, it is also important to arrange for a light diet for the child, enhance nutritional supplementation, and help them recover as soon as possible.
