Patient's question:
Female baby, only 5 months old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat, noticed it, and seemed to have some difficulty swallowing. Also, she had a slight fever and wasn't very energetic. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis if the child is crying and complaining?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication may be considered. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If the symptoms do not improve, medical attention is necessary. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery as early as possible. During treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional support to help them recover sooner.
