Question
How should I treat a child’s sore throat caused by 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 irrigation or spray can also be used, and symptomatic medications can be injected into the tonsils. These treatments are effective. If the child experiences pain in the throat, some painkillers can be administered. If the child has a fever, medications with antipyretic effects can be taken. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Apart from these medication treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is also recommended to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure that the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet mainly consisting of light and easy-to-digest foods. It is also important to ensure that the child gets enough rest and avoids fatigue.
