Patient's question:
My male baby is 1 year old. At first, when he started talking, he felt a sore throat. It was discovered that he also had mild coughing, and it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Please ask: If the child has tonsil inflammation and feels uncomfortable, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be given appropriately, and topical medication sprays or laser treatment can also be applied. For sore throat, pain relievers can be used for children. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods can be employed. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. These methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children with recurrent episodes. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
