Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 8 months old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Also, he had a slight fever and wasn't very energetic. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotics. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
