Patient's question:
My son is 5 years old. At first, he said his throat hurt even when he drank water. He also found that his cough seemed to be more severe, and he had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How to treat tonsillitis and sore throat in children.Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotic medications. Sensitive drugs can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has shown good efficacy. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has a persistent fever, parents should administer antipyretic medication or seek immediate medical attention. For cases with multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
