Patient's question:
My little girl, she's one year old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat, and I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Also, she's been running a low fever. I'm asking: How should I treat tonsillitis and sore throat in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given, local rinsing or local spraying can also be used, and symptomatic drugs can be injected into the tonsils. The efficacy is quite good. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve symptoms. If a child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used in a timely manner. If the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling can be applied. In addition to these drug treatments, if a child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
