Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 9 months old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when talking, and also had a low fever. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with sore throat be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. If the child has persistent fever that doesn't subside, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods, and to ensure sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
