Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 6 months old, just starting out. She says even drinking water feels painful in her throat. She notices, coughing is quite severe, and it seems like the low fever hasn't gone away either. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with sore throat be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. While taking medication, local treatments such as rinsing or direct application can also be performed to enhance the therapeutic effect. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medications can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention must be sought. For multiple acute severe episodes or cases with complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
