Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 9 months old. At first, she felt a sore throat when talking. She noticed that her cough seemed to be more severe, and she also had a low fever. Please ask: If the child has tonsillitis, how should it be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs for their children to effectively relieve inflammatory symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication irrigation is suggested. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods should be applied. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. In cases of multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Parents should also ensure their children are kept warm to prevent colds, which may trigger recurrent tonsillitis.
