Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 2 years old, just starting out. She says even drinking water feels painful in her throat. She noticed her voice is a bit hoarse when speaking. Additionally, she has been slightly feverish for a while. Please ask: How can the tonsillitis and sore throat of the child be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral antipyretics can be administered. These methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly suitable for children with recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further exacerbating the symptoms by catching a cold.
