Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 3 years old, just starting out. When speaking, she feels a sore throat, notices it, and seems to have a bit of difficulty swallowing. Additionally, she has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat in children be treated?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. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate analgesics may be given. If the child still has a fever, antipyretics should be used cautiously. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, prompt medical attention is necessary. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical intervention is recommended as early as possible. While treating the condition, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
