Patient's question:
Female baby, only 8 months old, just starting, a little sore throat, noticed that cough seems to be more severe, and it seems like the low fever hasn't gone away either. Please ask: How should the treatment be for tonsillitis and sore throat in children?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, you can first administer symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child's symptoms. Local flushing or topical spraying can also be used. Medication can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic relief. The effectiveness of these treatments is quite good. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic medication should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent further worsening of the symptoms due to cold exposure.
