Patient's question:
Female baby, only 8 months old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat. Then, it was discovered that her cough seemed to be more severe as well. Additionally, she has had a slight fever for quite some time. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with sore throat in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. At the same time as taking medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If a child's throat pain is severe, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention must be sought. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further exposure to cold to prevent symptoms from worsening.
