Patient's question:
Female baby, only 6 months old, just starting out. She says even drinking water feels painful in her throat. She has discovered that her cough is quite severe, and she also has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with sore throat be diagnosed and treated in children?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. For local treatment, it is recommended to opt for laser therapy or medication rinsing. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, parents are advised to consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
