How to Treat Childhood Tonsillitis and Sore Throat

Patient's question:

My son is 7 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and discovered that his cough was quite severe. Additionally, he has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: How to treat pediatric tonsillitis with sore throat.

Doctor's answer:

Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for the clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy, including methods such as crypt irrigation and direct injection of medication into the tonsils. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing drugs can be given. If the symptoms do not improve, medical attention must be sought. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is important to ensure your child stays warm and avoid further exposure to cold to alleviate symptoms.
