Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 4 months old, just started, said it hurts when swallowing, found that coughing seems to be more severe as well, and it seems like the low fever hasn't gone away either. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat in children be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
When it comes to treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. While taking the medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as irrigation or direct application of medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving some pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If the symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can consult a doctor and consider surgical treatment under medical supervision. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
