Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 4 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows, and it was found that his cough is also quite severe. Moreover, he has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat be treated for children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications, local flushing or topical sprays can also be used, and symptomatic drugs can be injected into the tonsils. The efficacy is quite good. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be selected based on the temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used; if it is above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. In addition to these medication-based treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents can choose surgery for treatment under the guidance of a doctor. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
