How to treat tonsillitis and sore throat in children well

Patient's question:

Boy, already 2 years old. At first, he felt sore throat even when drinking water, noticed that his cough was quite severe, and also had low fever. Please ask: How to treat tonsillitis and sore throat in children effectively.

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance the therapeutic effect. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. When necessary, such as when the child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can also be administered. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be given. If the symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, it is recommended to undergo tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
