Patient's question:
Female baby, only 2 months old, just starting out. She says even drinking water feels painful in her throat. She noticed her voice is a bit hoarse when speaking. Additionally, she has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How can the tonsillitis be treated effectively for the child to recover well?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. Additionally, local treatment can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. For sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to the child. If accompanied by fever, some fever-reducing medication can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
