Question
My daughter is 4 years old. She has just started to have a sore throat, with quite severe coughing. Additionally, she now has a persistent high fever. How should I treat her sore throat caused by tonsillitis?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs for their child under a doctor’s guidance, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. For regional treatment, laser therapy or drug irrigation is suggested. If the main symptom is throat pain, consider administering painkillers. Some children may also have a fever, in which case, oral antipyretics can be given. If the symptoms cannot be relieved, it is imperative to seek medical attention. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs, surgical treatment is recommended. During treatment, also pay attention to giving the child a light diet and enhancing nutritional supplements to help recover as soon as possible.
