Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 4 months old. At first, he said his throat hurt even when drinking water. He found that his cough seemed quite severe as well. He also had a slight fever and wasn't feeling well. Please ask: How should pharyngitis and tonsillitis in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. While undergoing systemic treatment, you can also opt for local treatments to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. Additionally, if fever is present, you can also take fever-reducing medications. For high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Furthermore, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children who experience recurrent episodes. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage appropriate exercise for the child to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
