Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 8 months old. At first, he said it hurt to swallow things. It was discovered that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke, and he also had a low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in children be diagnosed and treated when they are crying?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications, or local rinsing or topical sprays can be applied. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic treatment, all of which are quite effective. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child still has a fever, appropriate fever reduction measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods. Rest should also be emphasized to avoid fatigue.
