Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, has started primary school. At first, he felt pain in his throat even when drinking water. He noticed that his cough was quite severe, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotics. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, to help alleviate the pain. If the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and a liquid diet should be the main focus during treatment.
