Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 2 years old. At first, she said it hurts to swallow things. It was found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and now she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with sore throat be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance the efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the child's sore throat is particularly severe, it is recommended to administer pain relievers based on the situation. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering another episode of tonsillitis.
