Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 6 months old, just started, said swallowing hurts, noticed, coughing is quite severe, and also, now has high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat be treated in children.Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms, or local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can be used. Pain relievers can also be administered according to the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, to help alleviate the pain. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
