Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 3 years old, just started, feels sore throat when speaking, found, cough is quite severe, and, a little fever and no energy, please ask: How to treat tonsillitis and sore throat in the child.Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotic medications. Sensitive drugs can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has shown good efficacy. While taking medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or direct application of medication, to enhance the therapeutic effect. If the symptoms are mainly sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child still has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, focusing on a light diet, and ensure sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
