Patient's question:
My little girl is 7 years old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat. She noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke. Additionally, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis and sore throat in children?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. Finally, parents should take this disease 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.
