Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 5 years old, just starting, feels a sore throat when speaking, found that coughing is quite severe, and it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How can the treatment for tonsillitis and sore throat be effective for the child?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Local irrigation or topical sprays can also be used, and symptomatic drugs can be injected into the tonsils, all of which have good efficacy. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral antipyretics can be given. In cases of multiple acute severe episodes or complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. While treating the condition, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
