Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 2 years old, just starting out. When speaking, she feels a sore throat. She notices it, swallowing seems a bit difficult, and she also has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How can tonsillitis and sore throat in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first be given symptomatic antibiotic medication. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments can also be used, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is intense, to help alleviate the suffering. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used. If it is above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible method, suitable for children who have recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further aggravating the symptoms by catching a cold.
