Patient's question:
My son is 7 years old. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and it was found that his cough was also quite severe. At the same time, it seemed like his low fever never went away. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with sore throat be treated.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic 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 symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child has a fever, they can take fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children who experience recurrent episodes. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent them from catching a cold and triggering another episode of tonsillitis.
