Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 4 years old, just starting. She says even drinking water feels painful in her throat. She also found that her cough seems quite severe, and she has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should the treatment be if the child has tonsillitis and sore throat?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers should be given. If the child still has a fever, antipyretics should be used cautiously. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, emergency medical attention is necessary. For repeated acute severe cases or those with complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further symptoms from worsening due to cold exposure.
