Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 7 months old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, noticed it, and his cough was quite severe. At the same time, he had a slight fever and wasn't feeling well. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated when it's uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor based on symptoms. For local treatment, it is recommended to opt for laser therapy or medication rinsing. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is advisable to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has persistent fever, promptly use fever-reducing medication. For temperatures below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be applied. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
