Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, in primary school. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and then found that his cough seemed to be more severe as well. Currently, 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:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injections can also be used. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. If the child still has a fever, it is advisable to consider fever reduction. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is required. These are the commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
