Patient's question:
Boy, 8 years old, who has started elementary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that his cough seemed to be getting worse. At the same time, it seemed like his low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How to treat tonsillitis and sore throat in young children?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their children anti-inflammatory medications. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt lavage or intratonsillar drug injection. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain-relieving medications should be chosen to alleviate the symptoms. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. At the same time, attention should also be paid to arranging a balanced diet and daily routines for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
