Patient's question:
My little girl, she's one year old. At first, when she spoke, she felt a sore throat. She noticed that her cough seemed to be more severe as well, and she also had a low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with sore throat be treated in children for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotics. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments can also be used, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is very painful, to help alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever that doesn't subside, some fever-reducing medication can be taken orally. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it's important to keep the child warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
