Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 7 months old. At first, she said her throat hurts. It was found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat be treated for the child to be most effective.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, first, they can take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving some pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also give fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advised to consider surgery as early as possible. During the treatment period, 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.
