Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 9 months old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well, and he had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. Local treatments can also be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers are recommended to alleviate the symptoms. If the child also has a fever, antipyretic medication can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods. Additionally, sufficient rest should be ensured to avoid fatigue.
