Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 4 months old, just starting, says his throat hurts even when drinking water, found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should the inflammation of the child's tonsils and crying be treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the child has a sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. 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. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider early surgery. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
