Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 5 years old, started by saying his throat hurts. It was found that his cough seems to be quite severe as well, accompanied by low fever. Question: How to treat tonsillitis and sore throat in children.Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection can also be performed. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be administered. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be given. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention must be sought. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
