Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 5 months old. At first, she had a slight sore throat, and she noticed it. Her cough was quite severe, and now she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotics, and local treatment methods can also be combined. For example, tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections are all good options. If the child's throat pain is severe, appropriate pain-relieving medication can be given. If the child still has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
