Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 5 years old. At first, she said her throat hurt even when she drank water. Then, she developed mild coughing, and she also had a slight fever and wasn't feeling well. Could you please tell me how to treat a child's sore throat?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotics, or local treatments can be applied, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the child's throat pain is severe, appropriate analgesics may be administered. If the child still has a fever, fever reduction should be considered. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
