Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 1 year old, just started, saying her throat hurts, noticed that, coughing is quite severe, also, she has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat in children be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
For treatment, one can first administer symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child's symptoms. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be applied. When necessary, such as when the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider early surgery. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
