Question

Dear reader, my daughter is currently 4 years old. Initially, she had a slight pain in her throat, and I noticed her coughing seemed more severe. Additionally, she seems to have a persistent low-grade fever. How should one treat a child’s sore throat with tonsillitis?

Answer

It is appropriate to administer some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications. You can also consider regional rinsing or spraying, and injecting symptomatic medications into the tonsils, which are all effective treatments. If the child’s sore throat is particularly severe, painkillers can be given. Some children may also have a fever, in which case you can give them oral fever-reducing medication. If the symptoms do not subside, it is imperative to seek medical attention. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgery as soon as possible. Lastly, parents should pay attention to this disease and bring their children for treatment as soon as possible. Also, be sure to pay attention to relevant preventive and health care measures in everyday life.
