Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 4 months old, just started, said swallowing hurts, noticed, accompanied by mild cough, also a bit fever and no energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat be treated for children for the best effect.Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotic medications. Sensitive drugs can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has shown good efficacy. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers as needed. Some children may also experience fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medications can be given. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention must be sought. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods. Additionally, sufficient rest should be maintained to avoid fatigue.
