Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned one month old, just started, said his throat hurts, noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and he has a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat in children be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and intratonsillar medication may also be used. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medications can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention must be sought. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
