Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 3 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that her cough seemed to be more severe as well. Now, she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can tonsillitis with sore throat be treated effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
To treat pediatric tonsillitis, parents can first give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be applied, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods should be applied. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. 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.
