Patient's question:
My son is 8 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and then discovered that his cough was quite severe. Additionally, he had a low fever. Please ask: How can pharyngitis with tonsillitis in infants and young children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, first, they can use some symptomatic antibiotic medication. For local treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or medication rinsing. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is advisable to use some pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child also has a slight fever, it should be considered to reduce the fever accordingly. If the temperature is above 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider early surgery. During the treatment period, it is also important to pay attention to maintaining dietary hygiene and getting sufficient rest.
