Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 7 months old, just started, said his throat hurts, noticed that his cough seems to be more severe, and it seems like the low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
First, for treating pediatric tonsillitis, parents can give their child anti-inflammatory medications. Local irrigation or topical sprays can also be used, and symptomatic drugs can be injected into the tonsils, all of which have good efficacy. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. If the child has a fever, antipyretic medications should be administered. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, it is essential to keep the child warm and prevent them from catching a cold, which could worsen the symptoms.
