Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 6 months old, just starting, saying it hurts when swallowing things, found that coughing seems to be quite severe as well, 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:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. It can also be combined with local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar medication injections, which are all effective. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, it is essential to keep the child warm and avoid further exposure to cold to prevent worsening of symptoms.
