Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 7 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, noticed it, accompanied by mild coughing, and has had a low-grade fever. Please ask: How can I treat my child's tonsillitis and sore throat effectively?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotics. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as flushing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be administered. If the symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During treatment, it is crucial to ensure the child stays warm to prevent further worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
