Patient's question:
My little girl is 1 year old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and it seems her cough is also quite severe. Additionally, it seems like her low-grade fever hasn't gone away. I'm asking: How can I treat pediatric tonsillitis and sore throat for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance the efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child still has a fever, they can take fever-reducing medication as appropriate. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
