Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 3 years old. At first, she said even drinking water made her throat hurt. She also had mild coughing. Additionally, she had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat be treated if the child shows symptoms?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injection. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child has a fever, appropriate fever reduction measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. After recovery, it is recommended to encourage appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
