Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 7 years old. At first, he said that swallowing things hurt. It was found that his cough seemed to be more severe as well, and it seemed like his low fever hadn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local rinsing or topical spraying can also be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic treatment. The efficacy of these methods is quite good. If the child has a severe sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medication should be taken. In addition to these medication and treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child is well-warmed to avoid further aggravating the symptoms due to cold exposure.
