Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 4 months old, just starting to say she has pain when swallowing things. It was found that her cough seems to be quite severe as well, and she has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with sore throat be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be administered based on the child's symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar medication injections can be used in conjunction. If the sore throat is particularly severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. Children with fever symptoms can take fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. While treating, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
