Question
My daughter is 2 years old. Initially, she had a slight sore throat, and I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and she also had a low-grade fever. How should a child’s sore throat due to tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, the first step is to use targeted antibiotic medications. For localized treatment, laser therapy or pharmacological irrigation is recommended. If the throat pain is severe, appropriate painkillers can be administered. If there is a low fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. These are common treatment methods. However, if tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to undergo surgery as soon as possible. At the same time, also pay attention to arranging reasonable diet and lifestyle habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
