Question
My daughter is 1 year old. Recently, she has been experiencing pain in her throat while speaking and difficulty swallowing, accompanied by a slight fever. How should I handle the situation of tonsillitis and sore throat in children?
Answer
For treatment, appropriate anti-inflammatory medications can be administered based on the child’s symptoms. In severe cases, regional treatments such as tonsil washes or injectable medications can also be considered. If the sore throat is severe, it is recommended to take painkillers to alleviate symptoms. For persistent fever, fever-reducing medication can be given. In addition to medication, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment can be considered. During the course of treatment, ensure the child gets plenty of rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
