Question
My daughter is 4 years old. She recently complained of a sore throat and noticed that her coughing has become more severe. She also has a slight fever and seems listless. How should I treat her sore throat due to tonsillitis?
Answer
When treating this kind of illness, you can give the child some symptomatic antibiotic medications. For regional treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or medication irrigation. If the child has a sore throat, painkillers can be administered as needed. If the child continues to have a fever, apply antipyretic medication promptly. For temperatures not exceeding 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used. In addition to these medication treatment methods, if the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, it is also recommended to consider surgical treatment. During this period, ensure the child gets ample rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
