Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 4 years old, just started, saying her throat hurts, found that coughing is quite severe, and now she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be applied. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature is above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
