Question
My daughter is 1 year old and has been complaining of a sore throat with coughing and a slight fever. What are the treatment methods for a child’s tonsillitis and sore throat?
Answer
For treatment, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions by giving the child some anti-inflammatory medication while also conducting local treatments such as gargling or applying medication to enhance the efficacy. If the child experiences throat pain, appropriate painkillers can be administered; some children may have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If symptoms do not improve, it is imperative to seek medical attention. If the condition frequently recurs, consider surgical treatment to avoid repeated episodes. After the condition improves, it is suggested to let the child engage in moderate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
