How to Effectively Treat a Child’s Sore Throat Caused by Tonsillitis

A baby boy, just over 3 months old, has started complaining of a sore throat, with a hoarse voice during speech and a slight fever. How should one effectively treat a child’s sore throat caused by tonsillitis? Treatment should first involve symptomatic medications (symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs) based on the child’s symptoms. Concurrently, regional treatment can be chosen to enhance efficacy, including tonsil pocket irrigation and direct medication injection. If the child’s sore throat is particularly severe, it is recommended to use painkillers to alleviate symptoms. If the child has a fever, it should be considered to cool down the temperature; if it exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. In addition to medication treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can consult with a doctor to consider surgery for treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet mainly consisting of light and easy-to-digest foods. Additionally, attention should be given to rest and avoid fatigue.
