Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 4 years old, initially had a slightly sore throat. She noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and she had been running a low fever. Could you please advise on how to treat pediatric tonsillitis with sore throat for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered, local rinsing or topical sprays can also be used, and symptomatic drugs can be injected into the tonsils. The efficacy is quite good. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, prompt medical attention is necessary. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods, and to ensure adequate rest to avoid fatigue.
