Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 5 months old. At first, he said his throat hurt even when drinking water. It was discovered that he also had mild coughing. Additionally, he had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with 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, or use local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents can consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child also has a fever, it is advisable to reduce the fever accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery early. 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.
