Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 4 months old. At first, it was said that even drinking water made his throat hurt. He found that the cough was quite severe, and it seemed like the low fever never subsided. Please ask: How should the treatment for children's tonsillitis be effective if the baby cries?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsil crypt irrigation, intra-tonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is advisable to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent them from catching a cold due to cold exposure, which may trigger the recurrence of tonsillitis.
