Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 8 months old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and it was found that he also has mild coughing, and a bit of fever and no energy. Please ask: How should we treat tonsillitis and crying in the child?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. 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. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be administered. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to the above drug treatments, if a child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child stays warm and avoid further symptoms from worsening due to cold exposure.
