Question
The baby boy, just over 6 months old, initially felt a sore throat when speaking. He was noticed to have a hoarse voice when talking and also had a slight fever with a lack of energy. How should children’s tonsillitis and sore throat be treated?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose suitable antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs under a doctor’s guidance for the child to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. In addition, regional treatments can be carried out, including tonsil crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. When necessary, such as when the child has severe sore throat, painkillers can be administered. If the child still has a fever, some fever-reducing medication can be taken as appropriate. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs, surgical treatment is recommended. At the same time, also pay attention to arranging reasonable diet and sleep habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
