Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 7 months old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and I noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when he talks. Additionally, he has a low fever. Please ask: How should the treatment be for the child's tonsillitis and crying?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their children some anti-inflammatory medications. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments can also be used, including tonsillar crypt irrigation and intratonsillar medication injections. When necessary, such as when the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. If accompanied by low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child is well-warmed to prevent worsening of symptoms due to catching a cold.
