Patient's question:
Male baby, just turned 7 months old, just started, a little sore throat, noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when talking. Also, it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: If the child's tonsils are inflamed and uncomfortable, how should the condition be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
Appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be administered. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection can also be performed. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medications may be considered. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral antipyretics can be given. In cases of recurrent acute severe symptoms or those with complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help with early recovery.
