Patient's question:
My boy, who is 8 years old, initially said that he felt pain when swallowing. It was found that his cough was also quite severe, and he had a slight fever and seemed tired. Please ask: How should sore throat in young children, causing crying, be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for the clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them according to the symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection can also be performed. If the child has severe throat pain, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can administer antipyretic drugs or take the child to the hospital immediately. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. It is important to maintain a light diet and focus on a liquid diet during treatment.
