Patient's question:
My little girl is 2 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water made her throat hurt. Then, she was found to have a slightly hoarse voice when speaking. Now, she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat in children be treated.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. If the child's condition is severe, some local treatments can be combined, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar medication injections, etc. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be administered promptly. Physical cooling methods can be used for temperatures not exceeding 38.5 degrees Celsius. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child stays warm and avoid further worsening the symptoms by catching a cold.
