Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 5 months old. At first, he said it hurt when swallowing things. It was found that his voice was a bit hoarse when talking. At the same time, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can tonsillitis and sore throat be treated effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local rinsing or topical sprays can also be used, and symptomatic drugs can be injected into the tonsils. All these methods are quite effective. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is below 38.5°C. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their child warm to avoid catching a cold and triggering further tonsillitis.
