Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 7 years old. At first, she said she had pain when swallowing, and noticed it accompanied by mild coughing. Additionally, she had low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, analgesic medication can be used. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods can be applied. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, seek medical attention promptly. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. Pay attention to a light diet, and during treatment, a liquid diet should be primarily consumed.
