Patient's question:
My little girl is 9 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and then she found she also had a slight cough. Additionally, she had a low fever. Please advise: How should I treat my child's sore throat with tonsillar inflammation and crying?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given based on the child's symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medicinal irrigation is recommended. In case of sore throat, pain relief medication can also be given to the child. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication is recommended. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
