Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 3 months old. At first, he felt a sore throat when talking, noticed it, coughed quite severely, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis be diagnosed and treated when it's uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. Pain relievers can be given based on the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, to help alleviate the pain. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, some fever-reducing medication can be taken orally. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
