Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 6 years old. At first, she said it hurts when swallowing things. She noticed that her cough was quite severe, and she also had a slight fever and wasn't energetic. Please ask: How to treat tonsillitis and sore throat in infants and young children?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, or use local medications such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods can be used; if the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. In addition to these drug treatment methods, if a child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
