Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 4 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and then I noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well. Additionally, he had a low fever. I would like to ask: How should I treat tonsillitis and sore throat in children?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection can also be performed. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be administered. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If medication is ineffective or the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
