Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 6 months old, just started, feels sore throat when talking, noticed it, swallowing seems a bit difficult, and now has high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can tonsillitis and sore throat in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. While systemic treatment is ongoing, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. If a child has persistent fever that does not subside, fever-reducing medications can be taken orally. In addition to these drug treatments, if a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering recurrent tonsillitis.
