Patient's question:
My male baby is 2 years old. At first, when he spoke, he felt a sore throat. He noticed it, and his cough was quite severe. At the same time, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with sore throat in young children be treated?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intra-tonsillar drug injection. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child also has a fever, it is advisable to manage it appropriately. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, prompt medical attention is necessary. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical intervention is recommended as early as possible. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional support to aid in rapid recovery.
