Patient's question:
My little girl is 7 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, she has had a low fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be applied, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child still has a fever, appropriate fever reduction measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary.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, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
