Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 4 months old, just starting, says his throat hurts even when drinking water, noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when speaking, and also accompanied by low fever. Please ask: If the child's tonsils are inflamed and painful, how can the treatment be most effective.Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. While taking the medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as irrigation or direct medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be administered. If the condition is severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
