Patient's question:
My son is 4 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. I noticed that his cough seems to be more severe as well, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the child's sore throat is severe, pain relievers can be given based on the situation. Persistent fever should be treated with antipyretics, and physical cooling methods can be used if the temperature is below 38.5°C. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
