Patient's question:
My male baby is 1 year old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat. Then, I noticed he had severe coughing and also had a low fever. Please ask: If the child has tonsil inflammation, how should it be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotics. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser treatment can be administered. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers are recommended to alleviate the discomfort. Moreover, if a fever is present, fever-reducing medication can be taken. For high fever, it's still advisable to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly suitable for children with recurrent episodes. After the condition improves, it's recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
