Patient's question:
My male child is 4 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and then we noticed that his cough was quite severe. Now, he has a high fever that won't go down. Could you please tell me: How should tonsillitis with sore throat be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, local treatment can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. Pay attention to a light diet, and during treatment, a liquid diet should be the main focus.
