Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 8 months old, just starting, a little sore in the throat, found that her voice is a bit hoarse when speaking, and it seems like the low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should pharyngitis in children be treated when they cry and fuss.Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, they can first be given antibiotics that target the symptoms. Additionally, local treatments can be administered, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injections, laser therapy, etc. If the child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers may be recommended based on the situation. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen according to the temperature—cooling measures can be used if the temperature is below 38.5°C, and oral fever-reducing medication can be administered if it is above 38.5°C. In addition to the above drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurring tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their child warm to prevent them from catching a cold and triggering another episode of tonsillitis.
