Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 5 years old, just started. She says even drinking water feels painful in her throat. She noticed that her voice is a bit hoarse when she speaks. At the same time, it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should a sore throat with tonsillitis be treated well for the child?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be given on a case-by-case basis. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly.In addition to the above drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering recurrent tonsillitis.
