Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 2 months old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and then discovered it was accompanied by mild coughing. Additionally, she has had a slightly feverish condition. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injections can be used in conjunction. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be applied. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. After recovery, it is recommended to encourage appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
