Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 4 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat. He noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and now 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:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the sore throat is severe, pain relievers can be given appropriately. If the child still has a fever, antipyretic medication can be taken on a case-by-case basis. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery early on. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
