Question
My daughter is 7 years old. Initially, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and I noticed she had a slight cough along with it. Additionally, she seems to have a low-grade fever that hasn’t subsided. How should I treat my child’s sore throat caused by tonsillitis?
Answer
When treating such diseases, you can give your child some symptomatic antibiotic medications, as well as regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation and intratonsillar injections. If the child’s sore throat symptoms are severe, it is recommended to use some painkillers to relieve the symptoms. Some children may also have a fever, in which case you can give your child oral antipyretics. If the symptoms cannot be relieved, it is imperative to seek medical attention. Tonsillitis has the characteristic of recurrent attacks. If there are similar conditions, after the inflammation is controlled, surgery can be considered. While treating the condition, also pay attention to arranging a light diet for the child, enhancing nutritional supplementation, and helping them recover as soon as possible.
