Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, in primary school. At first, he said his throat hurt even when drinking water. He found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and it seemed like his low-grade fever never went away. Please ask: How to treat tonsillitis and sore throat in children.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for the clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them according to symptoms, or local irrigation or topical sprays can be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for targeted treatment, all of which have good efficacy. If the child's throat pain is severe, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken, but if it persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery early. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
