Question
My daughter is 5 years old. She recently has a sore throat that is painful when drinking water, along with slight coughing and a persistent low fever. How should I treat her tonsillitis and sore throat condition?
Answer
For treating a child’s tonsillitis, you can first give the child anti-inflammatory medication, and in severe cases, you can also consider regional treatments such as tonsil washing and injection medications. If there is throat pain, consider giving painkillers to relieve the pain and reduce fever. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5℃, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. These methods are currently common treatments for tonsillitis, and surgery is also a viable option for children with recurrent attacks. Pay attention to ensuring the child gets plenty of rest and maintains a balanced diet.
