Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 7 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water made his throat hurt. He also noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with sore throat be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local treatment can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is suggested that parents can consider giving some pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic medication should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. While treating, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
