Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 4 months old. At first, he said it was painful to swallow things, and it was noticed that his cough seemed to be quite severe as well. Additionally, he had been running a low fever. Please ask: How should the inflammation of the tonsils in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given based on the child's symptoms, or local treatments can be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, prompt medical attention is necessary. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further symptoms from worsening due to cold exposure.
