How to treat a child's sore throat discomfort

Patient's question:

Baby girl, only 4 months old. At first, she felt a sore throat when talking and discovered it was accompanied by a slight cough. Additionally, she has had a low-grade fever for quite some time. Please ask: How to treat tonsillitis in children when it's uncomfortable?

Doctor's answer:

To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can consult your doctor and choose some anti-inflammatory medications under their guidance. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. For sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to children. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling measures can be taken. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. These are relatively common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
