Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and then I noticed he had severe coughing and had been running a low fever. Could you please advise on how to diagnose and treat tonsillitis and sore throat in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications, and some local treatment methods can also be combined. For example, tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections are all good options. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
