Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 7 months old. At first, it was said that even drinking water made his throat hurt. It was found that the cough seemed to be quite severe as well, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should the treatment for pediatric tonsillitis be managed when it's so uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to the child. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods should be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further symptoms from worsening due to cold exposure.
