Patient's question:
Female baby, only 4 months old, just starting, saying it hurts when swallowing things, found that coughing is quite severe, and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat in children be treated.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for the treatment of tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. While systemic treatment is administered, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy, including crypt irrigation and direct injection of drugs into the tonsils. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be promptly applied. Physical cooling methods can be used for temperatures below 38.5°C. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
