Patient's question:
Female baby, only 7 months old. At first, when she spoke, she felt a sore throat. She noticed that her cough seemed to be more severe as well, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat in children be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
First, parents can give their children some anti-inflammatory medication to treat pediatric tonsillitis. While taking the medication, they can also perform some local treatments, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, to enhance the therapeutic effect. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent them from catching colds, which could trigger recurrent inflammation of the tonsils.
