Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 3 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Moreover, it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture, which is quite effective. If the child's condition is severe, some local treatments can be combined, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc. If the child has a sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention is necessary. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to avoid catching colds and triggering recurrent tonsillitis.
