Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 1 year old. At first, he said his throat hurts when swallowing, and I noticed his voice is a bit hoarse when talking. Additionally, he has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with sore throat be treated effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. While taking medication, local treatments can also be applied, such as rinsing or direct medication, to enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child has severe throat pain, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. Some children may also experience fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention is necessary. In cases of multiple acute severe episodes or complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. At the same time, it is important to arrange a balanced diet and sleep schedule for the child to help them recover as soon as possible.
