Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 8 months old, just started, saying his throat hurts, found that his voice is a bit hoarse when speaking. Also, he has had a slight fever for a while. 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 undergoing systemic treatment, local therapy can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. Pain relievers can also be administered based on the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, to alleviate discomfort. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be selected according to the temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, take the child to the doctor for early treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
