Patient's question:
My son is 7 years old. At first, he said he had a sore throat. He noticed it accompanied by mild coughing, and it seemed like a low fever that never went away. I'm asking: How should pediatric tonsillitis and sore throat be treated?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. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsil crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is advisable to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be given. If symptoms cannot be relieved, it is essential to seek medical attention. For cases with recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. Lastly, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring the child to seek medical treatment as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
