Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 3 months old. At first, he felt a sore throat when talking, and noticed that his cough seemed quite severe as well. Additionally, he has had a low-grade fever for quite some time. Please ask: How can the sore throat of a child be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections may also be used. Pain relievers can be given when necessary, especially if the child has severe sore throat. If the child has a fever, it should be managed appropriately, and if the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is required. Tonsillitis tends to recur, so if similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
