Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 8 months old, just started, says his throat hurts even when drinking water, found that accompanied by mild cough, and now he has high fever that won't go down. Please ask: If the child's tonsils are inflamed and painful, how should it be treated.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. Additionally, medication sprays or laser therapy can be applied locally. Pain relievers can also be administered based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. For temperatures not exceeding 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be employed.In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
