Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 3 months old, just starting, feels a sore throat when talking, found that accompanied by mild cough, at the same time, seems like a low fever that hasn't gone away, please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat be treated in children.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. While taking medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as irrigation or direct application of medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child's throat pain is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. 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 also important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional support to help them recover as soon as possible.
