Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 2 years old this year, initially said that even drinking water made her throat hurt. She also had mild coughing and had been slightly feverish. Please ask: How can the treatment be effective for tonsillitis and sore throat in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. While taking medication, local treatments can also be applied, such as rinsing or direct medication, to enhance the therapeutic effect. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications may be considered. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing drugs can be given. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention is necessary. For multiple acute severe episodes or complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Finally, parents should take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment early for their children, and pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures.
