Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 6 months old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and noticed it accompanied by mild coughing. Now, he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as irrigation or direct application of medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has a persistent fever, parents should also administer fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If your child frequently experiences such conditions, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During 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.
