Patient's question:
Boy, already 4 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat. It was found that it was accompanied by mild cough, and now he has high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How to treat pediatric tonsillitis and sore throat for the best effect.Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is suggested that parents may consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. For temperatures not exceeding 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied. If the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child stays warm and avoid further aggravating the symptoms by catching a cold.
