Patient's question:
My daughter is 7 years old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat, and then she started coughing more severely. It seems like her low-grade fever hasn't gone away either. Could you please tell me how to treat pediatric tonsillitis and sore throat effectively?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar medication injections can also be used. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medications or take the child to the hospital immediately. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
