Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking. He noticed it, and the cough was quite severe, accompanied by low fever. Question: How can a sore throat with tonsillitis be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be applied locally. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral fever-reducing medications can be administered. Beyond these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the illness recover as soon as possible.
