Patient's question:
Baby girl, only one month old, just starting, saying her throat hurts, found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and at the same time, it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: If the child has tonsillitis and feels uncomfortable, what treatment is best?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and intratonsillar medication can also be used. If the main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents can administer analgesics to relieve the pain. Additionally, if fever is present, fever-reducing drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. While undergoing treatment, it is important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional support to help them recover as soon as possible.
