Patient's question:
My little girl is 5 years old. At first, she said her throat hurts. We noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. At the same time, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with sore throat be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications, and local treatment methods can also be combined. For example, tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar medication injections are all good options. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If there is a fever, the method of cooling down should be chosen based on the body temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
