Patient's question:
Female baby, only 5 months old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and then discovered mild coughing. Additionally, she had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: How can a sore throat due to tonsillitis be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. While systemic treatment is ongoing, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the child has a sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. Persistent fever should be treated with antipyretics. Physical cooling methods can be used if the temperature is below 38.5°C. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
