How to treat a child's sore throat and crying effectively

Patient's question:

Boy, just turned two months old. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and it was found to be accompanied by mild coughing. Additionally, he had low fever. Question: How should we treat the crying due to tonsil inflammation in the child?

Doctor's answer:

Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. For local treatment, laser therapy or medicinal rinsing is recommended. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. If a child has a persistent fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention by taking the child to the hospital. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. Lastly, parents are encouraged to take this condition seriously, seek medical treatment for their child promptly, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
