Question
Dear Baby, she is only 7 months old. Initially, she had a slight sore throat, and I noticed her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke. She has also had a slight fever. How should we treat sore throat in children with tonsillitis?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be administered, which may include both systemic and localized treatments, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injections. If the child experiences severe throat pain, it is recommended to use painkillers to alleviate symptoms. If the fever persists, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. These methods are among the commonly used treatments for tonsillitis. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option for children who have recurrent episodes. Finally, parents should pay attention to this disease, seek medical treatment for their children as soon as possible, and also pay attention to prevention and health care in their daily lives.
