Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 7 years old, initially said that even drinking water with her throat felt painful. She was also found to have a slightly hoarse voice when speaking. Now, she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis and sore throat be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injection. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also administer fever-reducing medication or immediately take the child to the hospital.In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
