Patient's question:
My little girl is 5 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and noticed that her cough was quite severe, accompanied by a low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their children anti-inflammatory medications to eat. Local medications can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the sore throat condition is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If there is a fever, the method of cooling down should be selected based on the body temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used; if it is above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
