Patient's question:
My little girl is 6 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, she had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Could you please advise on how to treat tonsillitis and sore throat in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser treatment can be used. For sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to children. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention.In addition to the above drug treatments, if a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage appropriate exercise to boost the immune system and prevent recurrence.
