Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 7 months old, just starting. Feels sore throat even when drinking water, notices, coughs quite severely, and also has a slight fever and is low on energy. Please ask: How should I treat my child's tonsillitis, which is very painful?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections can be used in conjunction. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be given. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar cases occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage appropriate exercise for the child to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
