Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 4 years old. At first, he felt pain in his throat even when drinking water. He also had severe coughing and a slight fever, and he wasn't very energetic. Could you please advise on how to treat tonsillitis and sore throat in children?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, or use local rinsing or topical sprays. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for targeted treatment, all of which are quite effective. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During the treatment period, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is preferred.
