Patient's question:
Female baby, only 8 months old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat in children be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. While taking medication, you can also perform some local treatments, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, to enhance the therapeutic effect. If a child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to provide pain relievers based on the situation. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, consider surgery after the inflammation is controlled. At the same time, it is important to arrange a balanced diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
