Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 4 months old, just starting, says his throat hurts even when drinking water, noticed that, cough seems to be more severe as well, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How to treat tonsil inflammation and pain in the child.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 application of medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and focus on a liquid diet during the treatment period.
