Question
My 9-year-old daughter has symptoms of sore throat, slight cough, and fever. How should I treat her for the best effect?
Answer
It is recommended that parents give the child appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance to alleviate inflammatory symptoms. In severe cases, regional treatments such as tonsil washing or injection medications can be considered. For children with severe sore throat, painkillers can be used, and antipyretics can be taken if there are fever symptoms. If the condition is severe, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is suggested to consider surgery early. During treatment, it is important to supplement nutrition, eat a light diet, and ensure adequate rest to avoid fatigue.
