Patient's question:
My son is 7 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and noticed that his cough was quite severe, accompanied by a low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat in children be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, you can give children some symptomatic antibiotics, and you can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil injections, etc., which are all good options. You can also give children some pain relievers based on their condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, as it can help alleviate the pain. If the child has a fever, you can take some fever-reducing medication. If the condition is severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light and simple foods. Additionally, ensure the child gets plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
