Question
How to treat a sore throat in a child with tonsillitis?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local rinsing or spraying may also be considered, and symptomatic medication can be injected into the tonsils. These treatments are generally effective. If the child has a particularly sore throat, painkillers may be administered as needed. If there is a fever, choose a cooling method based on the body temperature; below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used, while oral fever-reducing medication is recommended for temperatures above 38.5 degrees Celsius. In addition to these medication treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may be an option. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child is well-protected from colds to prevent exacerbation of symptoms.
