Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 2 months old, just started, said it hurts when swallowing things, found that his voice is a bit hoarse when talking, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can the sore throat of a child with tonsillitis be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it's pediatric tonsillitis, can be given some antibiotics to the child, which is quite effective. While taking the medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as irrigation or direct medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the body temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used; if it's above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If there is a condition of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
