Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 6 months old. At first, he said his throat hurts. Upon noticing, his cough seems to be quite severe as well, and he has had a slight fever for quite some time. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. Pain relievers can be given based on the child's condition, especially when throat pain is severe, to help relieve discomfort. If the child still has a fever, they can be given fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, focusing on a light diet, and ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
