Question
My daughter is 9 years old. Initially, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and I noticed that her coughing seemed more severe as well. She has also had a slight fever. How should I treat my child’s sore throat with low fever for optimal effectiveness?
Answer
It is recommended that parents, under a doctor’s guidance, choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their child to effectively alleviate inflammation symptoms. Additionally, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can be administered. If the child experiences severe throat pain, painkillers may be suggested based on the situation. If the child continues to have a fever, timely use of fever-reducing medication is advised. For temperatures not exceeding 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to undergo surgery as soon as possible. At the same time, attention should be given to providing the child with a light diet and enhancing nutritional supplementation to aid in an early recovery.
