Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 7 months old, just started, said her throat hurts, noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and it seems like the low fever hasn't gone away either. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate the discomfort. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their child warm to avoid catching a cold and triggering further tonsillar inflammation.
