Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 6 months old, just starting, a little sore throat, noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and has had a slight fever all along. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat in children be 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. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection can also be performed. If the child has severe throat pain, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child has persistent fever, parents should administer antipyretic drugs or seek immediate medical attention. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods, and ensure sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
