Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 9 months old. At first, when speaking, he felt a sore throat. He noticed that his cough was quite severe, and it seemed like his low-grade fever never subsided. Please ask: How can we effectively treat tonsillitis discomfort in the child?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. Additionally, local treatment can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate the discomfort. If the child still has a fever, antipyretic medication can be taken 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 is preferred.
