Patient's question:
My male child, who is 2 years old, initially said he had a sore throat. It was found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and at the same time, it seemed like a low fever that never subsided. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with sore throat in children be treated effectively?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. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the child's sore throat is severe, it is advisable to administer pain relievers based on the situation. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. For temperatures not exceeding 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be applied. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, it is recommended to perform a tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering recurrent tonsillitis.
