Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 4 months old. At first, she said her throat hurts. She noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. At the same time, she has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with sore throat be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers are advised to alleviate the symptoms. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used; if it is above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be considered. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
