Patient's question:
Female baby, only 3 months old, just starting out. She says her throat hurts even when drinking water, and she seems to have difficulty swallowing. Also, it seems like her low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: If the child has tonsillitis and sore throat, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be given based on the situation. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children with recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent symptoms from worsening due to cold exposure.
