Patient's question:
My son is 3 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and I noticed that his cough seemed to be getting worse too. He also had a slight fever and wasn't feeling well. I'm asking: How should I treat his tonsillitis and sore throat for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotics. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child also has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. Maintain a light diet during daily life, and focus on a liquid diet during treatment.
