Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 3 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. Upon noticing, his cough seems to be quite severe as well, and he also has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat in children be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. While taking medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as irrigation or direct medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be administered. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering another episode of tonsillitis.
