Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 9 years old. At first, she said her throat hurts. She noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and it seems like her low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with sore throat be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. Pain relievers can be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate the discomfort. Additionally, if the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible.In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents can consult a doctor and consider surgical treatment under medical supervision. During the treatment period, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
