Patient's question:
Female baby, only 5 months old, just starting to say it hurts when swallowing things. It was found that coughing seems to be more severe as well. At the same time, her high fever hasn't subsided yet. Please ask: How should the diagnosis and treatment be carried out if the child has tonsil inflammation and pain?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser treatment can be administered. If a child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to provide pain relievers based on the situation. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods should be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is also important to provide a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
