Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 6 years old, initially said that he had pain when swallowing. It was found that he also had mild coughing and low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with sore throat be treated in children for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the child has a sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention is necessary. Tonsillitis is known to be recurrent. If similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further exposure to cold to prevent symptom exacerbation.
