Patient's question:
Female baby, only 8 months old, just starting out. When talking, she feels a sore throat, notices it, accompanied by mild coughing, and also has low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in children be treated if it is difficult to respond?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given, or local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can be used. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to the child. If the child still has a fever, it is advisable to take fever-reducing medication. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. 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 maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
