Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 7 months old. At first, it was said that even drinking water made his throat hurt. It was found that coughing seemed to be more 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 improved for better relief?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 rinses are 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 as early as possible. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child stays warm and avoid further exacerbation of symptoms by preventing them from catching a cold.
