Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 5 years old. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and it was accompanied by mild coughing. Additionally, he had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat be 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. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child has a sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. If the child still has a fever, antipyretic medication can be taken, but if it persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
