Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 4 months old. At first, she said her throat was sore. It was found that her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke, and she had been a little feverish all along. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat in children be diagnosed and treated.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 some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar 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 still has a fever, it is advisable to reduce the fever accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents can consult a doctor and consider surgical treatment under medical supervision. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child stays warm and avoid catching a cold, which could worsen the symptoms.
