Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 4 months old, just started, felt a sore throat when talking, noticed it, his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking. At the same time, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: If the child's tonsils are inflamed and uncomfortable, how can the treatment be most effective?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. While taking medication, local treatments such as rinsing or direct application of medication can also be performed to enhance the therapeutic effect. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers are recommended to alleviate the discomfort. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be selected based on the body temperature. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature is above 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medication should be taken. If your child frequently experiences such symptoms, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to avoid catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
