Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 6 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was found that swallowing seems to be a bit difficult. Additionally, it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should the treatment be for tonsillitis and sore throat in children?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. While taking medication, local treatments such as rinsing or direct application of medication can also be performed to enhance the therapeutic effect. If the sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can be given appropriately. Some children may also experience fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention is necessary. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be recommended. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
