Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 7 months old, just started, says his throat hurts even when drinking water, found that his cough is quite severe, and at the same time, his high fever hasn't subsided yet. Please ask: If the child's tonsils are inflamed and very painful, how should it be treated for the best effect.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. While undergoing systemic treatment, local therapy can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the child's sore throat is severe, pain relievers can be administered based on the situation. If the child has persistent fever that doesn't subside, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During treatment, it's important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods. Rest should also be ensured to avoid fatigue.
