Patient's question:
My male baby is 2 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. I noticed that his cough seems to be more severe as well. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat be treated in children for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be given. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the illness is controlled to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods, and ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
