Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 4 months old, just starting, feels sore throat when talking, found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, also a bit feverish and lacking energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis be diagnosed and treated when the child is uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. While taking medication, local treatments can also be applied, such as rinsing or direct medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. Some children may also have fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medications can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention must be sought. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
