Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 8 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows, and I noticed that his cough is quite severe, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How can tonsillitis with sore throat be treated effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given, local rinsing or local spraying can also be used, and symptomatic drugs can also be injected into the tonsils. The efficacy is quite good. If the child's sore throat is severe, it is recommended to give some pain relievers based on the situation. Additionally, if there is a fever, some fever-reducing drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already occurred, it is recommended to have the tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
