Patient's question:
Female baby, only 5 months old, just starting, saying it hurts when swallowing, found that coughing is quite severe, and it seems like the low fever hasn't gone away either. Please ask: How can you treat severe tonsillitis in young children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first use some symptomatic antibiotic medication. For local treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or medication rinsing. If the child's throat pain is severe, appropriate pain-relieving medication can be given. If the child also has a fever, they can take fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet should be the primary focus.
