Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 4 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows things. It was found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and it is accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with sore throat be treated in children for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given, or local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can be used. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to the child. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius. These are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering further inflammation of the tonsils.
