Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 7 years old. At first, she had a slight sore throat. She noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke, and it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat in children be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. They can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections, which are all effective. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the temperature. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while for temperatures above 38.5°C, oral antipyretics can be administered. These are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider surgery as early as possible. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
