Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 4 months old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat. He noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well, and he also had a low fever. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with sore throat be treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. They can also combine it with some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc., which are all good options. If the child's throat is particularly painful, appropriate pain-relieving medication can be given. If they also have a low fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. While treating the condition, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child, enhance nutritional supplementation, and help them recover as soon as possible.
