Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 8 months old. At first, when talking, he felt a sore throat. He found that his cough seemed to be quite severe as well. At the same time, he had a slight fever and wasn't very energetic. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in young children be diagnosed and treated if it's very painful?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. Local irrigation or topical sprays can also be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic treatment, all of which have good efficacy. Pain relievers can be given when necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing measures should be considered. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is required. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further exposure to cold to worsen symptoms.
