Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 7 months old, just started, felt a sore throat when talking, noticed it, his voice was a bit hoarse when talking, and it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: If the child's tonsils are inflamed and very painful, how should the treatment be done?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injections may also be used. If the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be given based on the situation. If the child still has a fever, fever reduction measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, emergency medical attention is necessary. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm to avoid aggravating the symptoms due to cold exposure.
