Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said his throat hurts. Upon observation, it seems his cough is also quite severe, and it appears he has had a low fever that hasn't gone away. Question: How should tonsillitis and 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. Local medication can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is advisable to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If this does not alleviate the symptoms, it is essential to seek medical attention. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
