Patient's question:
Boy, already 3 years old. At first, he felt sore throat even when drinking water, noticed that his cough was quite severe, and he had been slightly feverish all along. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. Children with fever symptoms can take fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may choose surgery under the guidance of a doctor for treatment. During the treatment period, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
