Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 7 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and I noticed it accompanied by mild coughing, and also a low fever. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis and sore throat in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. Local treatments can also be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the sore throat is severe, pain relievers can be given appropriately. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is suggested. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent symptoms from worsening due to cold exposure.
