Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 5 years old, started with a slightly sore throat, noticed it accompanied by mild coughing. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat in children be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, analgesic drugs can be used. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be administered promptly. Physical cooling methods can be used for temperatures below 38.5 degrees Celsius. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and a liquid diet should be primarily consumed during treatment.
