Patient's question:
My son is 8 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat be treated effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture, or local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs can be administered orally. These methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children with recurrent episodes. Lastly, it is important for parents to take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment early for their children, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
