Patient's question:
Female baby, only 4 months old. At first, she said her throat was sore, but it was discovered that her cough was quite severe. Additionally, she had been slightly feverish. Please ask: How should the diagnosis and treatment be carried out if the child's tonsils are inflamed and swollen?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. Additionally, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, and laser therapy can be performed. If the sore throat is severe, pain relievers can be given. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also administer fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent further worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
