Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 2 months old. At first, he felt a sore throat when talking, and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Also, he had a slight fever and wasn't very energetic. Please ask: If the child has sore tonsillitis and it hurts, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. While taking medication, local treatments such as rinsing or direct application of medication can also be performed to enhance the therapeutic effect. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers are recommended to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, antipyretic drugs can be taken orally. In addition to these drug treatments, if a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, focusing on a light diet, and ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
