Patient's question:
My male baby is 1 year old. At first, when he spoke, he felt a sore throat. He noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. At the same time, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How is it best to treat tonsillitis and sore throat in children?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments can also be combined, including tonsillar crypt irrigation and intratonsillar medication. If the child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to provide pain relief medication based on the situation. If the child still has a fever, appropriate fever reduction measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. For cases with recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
