Patient's question:

Girl baby, currently 2 years old, just starting, a little sore throat, noticed, coughing is quite severe, and, seems like low-grade fever hasn't gone away, please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat be diagnosed and treated in children.

Doctor's answer:

In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance the therapeutic effect. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the sore throat condition is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be selected based on the body temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used; above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. After the condition improves, it is advisable to let the child engage in appropriate exercise to boost the immune system and prevent recurrence.
