Patient's question:
Female baby, only one month old. At first, she said her throat was sore, and it was found to be accompanied by mild coughing. Additionally, it seems like her low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should the inflammation of the tonsils in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to administer pain relievers based on the situation. If the child also has a fever, antipyretic medication can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly.In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents can consider surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, focusing on a light diet, and ensure sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
