Patient's question:
My little girl is 4 years old. At first, she said her throat was sore. It was found that her cough was quite severe and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. While systemic treatment is ongoing, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. Pain relievers can also be given to the child, especially when the throat pain is severe, to alleviate discomfort. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
