How to Treat a Child's Sore Throat Effectively

Patient's question:

Female baby, only one month old, just starting, saying her throat hurts, noticed that, coughing is quite severe, and accompanied by low fever, please ask: How should tonsillitis be treated when it's uncomfortable for young children.

Doctor's answer:

When it comes to treatment, you can first give symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child's symptoms. While taking the medication, you can also perform some local treatments, such as irrigation or direct medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, you may consider giving pain-relieving medication. If the child has persistent fever that doesn't subside, you can take fever-reducing medication orally. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. Pay attention to a light diet, and during treatment, a liquid diet should be the main focus.
