Question
Dear Baby, currently 5 years old, at first, said she had a sore throat, noticed that coughing was quite severe, and had a slight fever all along. Please ask: How should a child’s sore throat due to tonsillitis be treated for the best effect?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be administered, as well as regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation and intratonsillar injections. For children with pronounced sore throat symptoms, analgesic medication can be used. Those with fever can take antipyretic drugs. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If a child repeatedly experiences tonsillitis, surgery is recommended early on. During treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
