Question

How can I treat a child’s sore throat caused by tonsillitis?

Answer

The treatment method primarily depends on the child’s symptoms. It is recommended to first administer symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child’s condition. If the child has a sore throat, painkillers can be used to relieve the pain. Some children may have a low fever, in which case, oral antipyretic medication can be given. If the above methods do not alleviate the symptoms, it is imperative to seek medical attention. In addition, regional drug sprays or laser therapy are also common treatment methods. For children who have recurrent episodes, surgery is also a viable treatment option. During treatment, it is important to arrange for a light diet for the child, enhance nutritional supplementation, and help them recover as soon as possible.
