Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 5 months old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat. She noticed that her cough seemed to be more severe as well. Additionally, she had a slight fever and wasn't feeling well. Please ask: How should I treat her tonsillitis if her tonsils are inflamed and swollen?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. While taking medication, you can also perform some local treatments, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. Depending on the child's condition, you may also give pain relievers, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. If there is a fever, choose a cooling method based on the temperature. Below 38.5°C, you can use physical cooling methods, while above 38.5°C, you can take fever-reducing medication. If there are recurrent inflammation issues, surgical treatment may be considered. During treatment, it's also important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
