Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 9 months old. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and I noticed that his cough seemed to be quite severe as well. He also had a slight fever and wasn't very energetic. Please ask: How should the inflammation of the tonsils in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can consult a doctor and choose some anti-inflammatory medications under their guidance. While taking medication, you can also perform local treatments, such as rinsing or applying medications directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. Depending on the child's condition, you may also give pain relievers, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. If the child has persistent fever, use fever-reducing medication in a timely manner. For fever below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied. If the medication is ineffective or the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During treatment, maintain a light diet and focus on liquid foods.
