Question
Dear Baby, currently 7 years old, just started to feel a sore throat when talking. I noticed that she has been coughing quite severely, and she also has a low-grade fever. How should a child with tonsillitis and sore throat be treated?
Answer
When treating this kind of illness, you can give the child some symptomatic antibiotic medications, and also combine with some regional treatment methods, such as tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil injection medications, etc., which are quite effective. If the sore throat is severe, you can give some painkillers. If the child has fever symptoms, you can give some fever-reducing drugs. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. The above methods are currently commonly used in the treatment of tonsillitis. In addition, surgery is also a feasible option, suitable for children with recurrent attacks. Finally, I hope that parents can pay attention to this disease, bring their children to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible, and also pay attention to doing related preventive and health care work in daily life.
