Patient's question:
Female baby, only 9 months old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed that her cough seemed to be more severe, and she also had a low fever. Please ask: How should the inflammation of the tonsils in the child be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is advised. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods should be applied. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. In cases of multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent colds and the recurrence of tonsil inflammation.
