Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 3 months old. At first, he said it hurt to swallow things. Noticed that, his cough also seemed quite severe, and he was a bit feverish and lacking energy. Please ask: How should the treatment be for tonsillitis and sore throat in the child?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered, and they can be combined with local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections, which are all effective. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also give them fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods, and ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
