Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 4 months old, just starting, feels sore throat when talking, found that coughing is quite severe, and it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How can the tonsillitis pain in the child be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered, local rinsing or topical sprays can also be used, and symptomatic drugs can be injected into the tonsils. The efficacy is quite good. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. These are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider surgery as early as possible. While treating, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover sooner.
