Question
The baby girl, just 8 months old, initially had a slight pain, severe cough, and persistent low-grade fever that has not subsided. How should a child’s sore throat due to tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions to administer anti-inflammatory medications to the child. For regional treatment, laser therapy or drug irrigation is recommended. If the child’s symptoms of sore throat are severe, it is suggested to use painkillers to relieve the symptoms. If the child continues to have a fever, parents can give the child fever-reducing medication or immediately take the child to the hospital. If the child frequently experiences this condition, after controlling the illness, consider surgical treatment to avoid recurrent episodes. Pay attention to a light diet in daily life and consume mainly liquid foods during treatment.
