Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 5 months old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and he had been running a low fever. Please ask: How should I treat my child's tonsillitis if he's crying and fussing?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser treatment can be administered. If the child primarily exhibits symptoms of sore throat, parents are advised to consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child also has a fever, appropriate fever-reducing measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
