Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 4 years old. At first, she said her throat hurt even when she drank water. Then, she started coughing quite severely, and it seemed like her low-grade fever never went away. I'm asking: How can I treat her tonsillitis and sore throat effectively?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotics, or local treatments can be applied, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to children. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further aggravating the symptoms by catching a cold.
