Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 6 months old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, noticed that his cough seemed quite severe too, and he was a bit feverish and lacking energy. Please ask: How can tonsillitis be treated effectively for the child?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be administered based on the situation. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention is necessary.In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm to prevent catching a cold, which could trigger further tonsil inflammation.
