Question
Dear Baby, she is just 6 months old. She feels a sore throat when she speaks and her voice sounds hoarse. She also has a persistent low-grade fever. How should one treat a child’s sore throat and tonsillitis effectively?
Answer
When treating such diseases, one can give the child some symptomatic antibiotic medications. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatment can also be performed, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injection. If the sore throat is severe, some painkillers can be appropriately administered. Additionally, if there is a fever, some antipyretic drugs can be taken. In case of high fever, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs, it is suggested to consider surgical treatment. During treatment, it is also important to arrange for a light diet for the child, strengthen nutritional supplementation, and help them recover as soon as possible.
