Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 7 years old, initially said that he felt pain when swallowing. It was noticed that he also had mild coughing, and it seemed like a low fever that hadn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with sore throat be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be administered, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medications may be considered. Some children may also experience fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be given. If symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment may be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is important to provide your child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional support to aid in early recovery.
