Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 6 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and I noticed that his cough was quite severe. Now, he has a high fever that won't go down. Could you please advise on how to treat tonsillitis and sore throat effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture, or it can be combined with local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication, which are all effective. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be administered. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can give fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
