Patient's question:
Female baby, only 8 months old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat, and she noticed it accompanied by mild coughing. Additionally, she has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. For local treatment, it is recommended to opt for laser therapy or medication rinsing. If the child primarily exhibits symptoms of sore throat, parents are advised to consider giving pain relievers as needed to alleviate discomfort. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication and treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. During treatment, it is advisable to maintain a light diet and focus on a liquid diet.
