Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 2 months old. At first, he felt a sore throat when talking, and then discovered it was accompanied by a mild cough. Additionally, he has had a slight fever. Please ask: How should pharyngitis and tonsillitis in children be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the child has a sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied.In addition to these pharmacological treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering further tonsillar inflammation.
