Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 8 months old, just started, says his throat hurts even when drinking water, noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and he's a bit feverish and lacks energy. Please ask: How can a sore throat in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be applied. If the sore throat condition is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be administered. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be selected based on the body temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider early surgery. During this period, ensure the child gets sufficient rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
