Patient's question:
Baby boy, just turned 9 months old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when talking, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotics. They can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections, which are all good options. In case of sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to the child. Additionally, if there is a fever, some fever-reducing medications can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their child warm to avoid catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
