Patient's question:
My little girl is 6 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and noticed it accompanied by mild coughing. Also, it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. Additionally, topical medications in the form of sprays or laser therapy may be administered. If the child primarily exhibits symptoms of sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider administering pain relievers to alleviate discomfort. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral antipyretics can be taken. In cases of multiple acute severe episodes or the presence of complications, it is advisable to perform a tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Lastly, parents are encouraged to take this condition seriously, seek medical treatment for their child as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
