Question
Dear parents, my 7-year-old daughter is experiencing a sore throat, severe coughing, and has not stopped fevering. What treatment methods should be considered for a child with tonsillitis and low fever?
Answer
Under a doctor’s guidance, appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be considered to alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Regional treatments, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection of medication, can also be considered. If the main symptom is throat pain, analgesics can be considered. If the child continues to have a fever, antipyretic medications or immediate medical attention may be necessary. Additionally, if symptoms frequently recur, surgical treatment may be considered. At the same time, it is important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to assist in a quick recovery.
