Patient's question:
Baby boy, just turned 4 months old, just started, said that drinking water with his throat feels painful, found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should the inflammation of the child's tonsils, which causes crying, be treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt lavage or intratonsillar drug injection can also be performed. If the child has a sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. For low-grade fever, physical cooling measures can be applied. However, if the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage appropriate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
