Question
Dear Baby Girl, she is currently 6 years old, just started saying that it hurts when she swallows, and I noticed that her coughing seems more severe, and now she has a persistent fever. How should a young child’s tonsillitis and sore throat be treated?
Answer
To effectively treat a young child’s tonsillitis and sore throat, you can choose some medications with anti-inflammatory properties under a doctor’s guidance, and also consider regional treatments such as gargling or direct medication. If necessary, you can give the child painkillers to relieve the sore throat. If the child continues to have a fever, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. In addition to medication, if the child has recurrent inflammation, parents can discuss the option of surgical treatment with the doctor. During treatment, make sure the child gets enough rest and eats plenty of vegetables and fruits.
