Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 8 months old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat. He noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and it seemed like the low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: If the child has tonsillitis and sore throat, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications, or local treatments can be applied, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the sore throat condition is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medications or take the child to the hospital immediately. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
