Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 6 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water made his throat hurt. He also noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe, and he had been running a low fever. Please ask: How can I treat tonsillitis and sore throat effectively if my child has them?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, can give the child some antibiotics, which is relatively effective. For local treatment, it is recommended to choose laser treatment or medication rinsing. If the child's throat is very painful, appropriate pain-relieving medication can also be given. If there is a fever, the method of cooling down should be chosen according to the body temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling can be used. If it is above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medicine can be taken. In addition to the above drug treatment methods, if the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. Pay attention to a light diet, and mainly consume liquid food during the treatment period.
