Patient's question:
Female baby, only 5 months old. At first, she said that even drinking water made her throat hurt. She noticed that her cough was quite severe, and at the same time, she had a slight fever and wasn't energetic. Please ask: How should we treat the inflammation of the child's tonsils if she is crying?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections can also be used. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child still has a fever, they can be given fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider surgery as early as possible. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent further worsening of symptoms due to colds.
