Patient's question:
My little girl is 2 years old. At first, she said she had pain when swallowing, and I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, she now has a high fever that won't go down. 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 antibiotics. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has shown good efficacy. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered. For children with pronounced sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. Some children may also experience fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be given. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention must be sought.In addition to these drug treatments, if a child experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
