Question
Dear parents, our 4-year-old daughter has recently been experiencing a sore throat and a slight cough, along with a persistent fever. How can we effectively treat our child’s sore throat and high fever?
Answer
The current clinical treatment for pediatric tonsillitis primarily involves the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications, with parents able to make appropriate choices based on the symptoms. In severe cases, regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation or injection medications can be considered. For the sore throat, it is recommended to use painkillers to alleviate discomfort, and for fever, antipyretics can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If tonsillitis frequently recurs, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is necessary to keep warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
