Patient's question:
Female baby, only 4 months old, just starting, a little sore throat, found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and also seems like low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How can the inflammation of the tonsils and sore throat be treated effectively for the child?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child's throat pain is severe, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, fever-reducing medication can be administered 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. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
