Question
My child is a 8-year-old boy, and he just started saying that it hurts when he swallows things. I noticed that his swallowing seems a bit difficult, and he seems to have a low-grade fever that hasn’t gone away. Please ask: How should children’s sore throat be treated effectively?
Answer
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve choosing sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatment can also be carried out, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or tonsil intramuscular injections. If the child has severe throat pain, some painkillers can be administered accordingly. For fever symptoms, children can take antipyretic medications. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is controlled to avoid recurrence. Pay attention to a light diet during the treatment period, and mainly consume liquid foods.
