Patient's question:
My male child is 4 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. I noticed that his cough also seemed quite severe, and he had been slightly feverish for a while. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with sore throat be treated effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given based on the child's symptoms. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc., which are all effective. Pain relievers can be given according to the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, to help alleviate the pain. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is not above 38.5°C. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
