Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 6 months old, just starting, says his throat hurts even when drinking water, found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and at the same time, it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: if the child's tonsils are inflamed and uncomfortable, how should the treatment be?Doctor's answer:
Appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be administered, and topical medication sprays or laser therapy can also be used. Pain relievers may be given when necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat. If the child still has a fever, it should be managed accordingly, and if the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is required. For cases with recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet focused on light foods. Additionally, sufficient rest should be maintained to avoid fatigue.
