Patient's question:
My little girl, who is one year old, initially said she had pain when swallowing. We noticed she had severe coughing and a slight fever, and she wasn't feeling well. Could you please advise on how to treat tonsillitis and sore throat in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, first of all, you can use some symptomatic antibiotic drugs. You can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injection medication, etc., which are all good options. You can also give some pain relievers based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, as it can help alleviate the suffering. If the child has persistent fever that doesn't subside, you can take some fever-reducing drugs orally. In addition to the above drug treatment methods, if the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, it is also recommended to choose surgical treatment. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and mainly consume liquid food during the treatment period.
