Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 6 years old. At first, he said that swallowing things hurt. It was found that his cough seemed to be more severe as well. Additionally, he had a slight fever and wasn't feeling well. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with sore throat be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. While taking medication, local treatments such as rinsing and direct application of medication can also be performed to enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child's primary symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers as needed for relief. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral antipyretics can be administered. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is advised. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage appropriate exercise for the child to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
