Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 8 months old, just starting, feels sore throat even when drinking water, notices it, accompanied by mild cough, also accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How to treat tonsil inflammation and sore throat for the child to be most effective.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and intratonsillar medication can also be used. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used; above 38.5°C, oral antipyretics can be administered. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
