Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 5 months old, just started, said her throat hurts, noticed it, accompanied by mild cough, and now she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local rinsing or topical sprays can also be used, and symptomatic drugs can be injected into the tonsils. The efficacy of these methods is quite good. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
