Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows things, and I noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Additionally, he has a low fever. Please ask: How should pharyngitis with tonsillitis be treated in young children with sore throat?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it's pediatric tonsillitis, (treat according to symptoms) medication with antibiotics can be given to the child, which is quite effective. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child still has a fever, appropriate fever reduction measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it's necessary to seek medical attention promptly. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it's advisable to consider surgery as early as possible. After the condition improves, it's recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
