Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 3 months old, just starting out. When she talks, she feels a sore throat. It was found that her cough is quite severe. Additionally, she has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat be treated if the child has them?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture, which is quite effective. Local rinsing or topical sprays can also be applied. Symptomatic medications can be injected into the tonsils, and the efficacy is good. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. Children with fever symptoms can take fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods. Additionally, it is necessary to ensure adequate rest and avoid fatigue.
