Patient's question:
My little girl, she's one year old. At first, she said it hurts when she swallows things, and I noticed she also has mild coughing. Additionally, it seems like she hasn't recovered from a low fever. I'm asking: How should tonsillitis with sore throat be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be applied, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child's throat pain is severe, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If the symptoms do not improve, medical attention is necessary. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. After recovery, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
