Question
Dear Baby, she is currently 9 years old and has just started to feel a sore throat while speaking. It seems that swallowing is a bit difficult, and she has had a slight fever all along. How should we effectively treat throat pain in children with tonsillitis?
Answer
The recommended treatment is to follow the doctor’s orders and administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child. Regional treatments can consider laser therapy or medication rinses. If the throat pain is severe, a moderate dose of painkillers can be given. When the child continues to have a fever, parents can use fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention. These are some commonly used methods for treating tonsillitis, and surgery is also a feasible option for children who have recurrent attacks. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure that the child gets adequate rest and consumes plenty of vegetables and fruits.
