Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 3 years old. At first, she said her throat hurts. Then, I noticed she seems to have difficulty swallowing, and she also has a low fever. I'm asking: How should I treat tonsillitis and sore throat in children?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. If the child still has a fever, they can take fever-reducing medication as appropriate. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child stays warm to prevent further worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
