Patient's question:
Boy, already 3 years old, at the beginning, felt a sore throat when speaking, found that coughing was quite severe, and had a slight fever all the time. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat in children be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local rinsing or topical spraying can also be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic treatment. The efficacy of these methods is quite good. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention is necessary. For cases with recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is preferred.
