Patient's question:
Boys, who are already 9 years old, initially felt a sore throat when speaking. They noticed that their cough was quite severe, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should pharyngitis tonsillitis in children be treated effectively for a sore throat?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotic medications. Sensitive drugs can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has shown good efficacy. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers are recommended to alleviate the discomfort. If fever is present, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the body temperature. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while oral antipyretics are recommended for temperatures above 38.5°C. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage appropriate exercise for the child to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
