Question
My daughter is 6 years old, and she has recently been suffering from a sore throat, severe cough, and a low-grade fever that won’t go away. How should I treat her tonsillitis and sore throat?
Answer
It is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions to administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child, and regional treatments such as tonsil washing or injection therapy can also be considered. If the sore throat is severe, painkillers can be taken in appropriate amounts. If there is a persistent fever, it should be promptly reduced. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling(cooling) can be considered. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment as soon as possible, while also ensuring that the child maintains a light diet and increases nutritional supplementation to aid in a quick recovery.
