Patient's question:
My little girl is 6 years old. At first, she had a slight sore throat, and she noticed that her cough was quite severe. Also, it seems like her low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis and sore throat in children?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is below 38.5°C. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery as early as possible. While treating, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help with early recovery.
