Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 2 months old. At first, he said his throat hurt even when drinking water. It was discovered that it was accompanied by mild coughing, and at the same time, it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be used. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers are recommended to alleviate the symptoms. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can 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 advised two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, it is essential to ensure the child stays warm to prevent worsening of symptoms due to catching a cold.
