Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 2 months old. At first, when talking, he felt a sore throat, noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking, and has had a slight fever all along. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat be treated in children.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. For sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to the child. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be administered. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Furthermore, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children who experience recurrent episodes. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes plenty of vegetables and fruits.
