Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 6 years old. At first, she said her throat hurt even when she drank water. Then, she developed severe coughing, and she had been slightly feverish all along. Could you please tell me: How can tonsillitis with sore throat be treated effectively in infants and young children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given, or local rinsing or local spraying can be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils, and the efficacy is quite good. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child still has a slight fever, it is necessary to consider fever reduction measures. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to the above drug treatments, if the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
