Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 5 years old, just started, feels sore throat even when drinking water, noticed that her voice is a bit hoarse when speaking, and at the same time, she now has high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can a sore throat caused by tonsillitis in children be treated effectively?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 undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance the efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly suitable for children with recurrent episodes. Lastly, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children to the hospital for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
