Patient's question:
My little girl is 6 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water with her throat felt painful. She also found that her cough seemed quite severe, and now she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with sore throat in infants and young children be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
Appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be administered, and local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, and laser therapy can also be performed. Pain relievers may be given when necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, prompt medical attention is required. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgery is recommended as early as possible. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
