Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 6 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well. Additionally, he had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat in children be treated.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents, under the guidance of a doctor, choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Local rinsing or topical spraying can also be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic treatment, all of which have good efficacy. If the child's throat pain is severe, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. If the child still has a fever, antipyretic medication can be taken, but if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
