Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, has started primary school. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing. It was found that his cough was quite severe, and it seemed like he had a low fever that never went away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotics. Sensitive drugs can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has shown good effectiveness. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If a child has severe throat pain, pain relief medication may be administered based on the situation. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can give fever-reducing medication or immediately take the child to the hospital. These are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if a child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children to the doctor for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
