Patient's question:
My male baby is 1 year old. At first, when he started talking, he felt a sore throat. He noticed it, accompanied by mild coughing, and it seems like a low fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: How can sore throat in infants and young children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, or use local rinsing or topical sprays. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for targeted treatment, all of which are quite effective. When necessary, such as when a child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can also be given. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children who experience recurrent episodes. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional support to help them recover as soon as possible.
