Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 7 months old, just started, said his throat hurts, found that his voice is a bit hoarse when speaking, and at the same time, a little fever and no energy. Please ask: How should pharyngitis and tonsillitis in young children be treated properly.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be administered. If the child still has a fever, they may take fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is known for its recurrent nature. If similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. Once the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
