Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 7 months old, just started, said his throat hurts, found that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks, and it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat in children be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
Appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can also be used. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, parents are advised to consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If this does not provide relief, medical attention must be sought.In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents can consult a doctor and consider surgical treatment under medical supervision. During treatment, it is also important to ensure the child follows a light diet and receives adequate nutritional support to help them recover as soon as possible.
