Question
My daughter is 6 years old. She recently started to complain of a sore throat when speaking, accompanied by a slight cough. Additionally, she’s been running a low-grade fever. How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis and fever?
Answer
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture. Additionally, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can be considered. If the child’s sore throat is particularly severe, it is recommended to use painkillers to alleviate symptoms. If fever is present, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is controlled to avoid recurrence. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet mainly consisting of light and easy-to-digest foods. Also, ensure the child gets plenty of rest and avoids fatigue.
