Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 3 months old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke, and also had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How should I treat his tonsillitis if it's very painful?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. While taking medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as irrigation or direct application of medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also give fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. These are all common treatment methods. However, if a child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. During daily life, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet should be the main focus during treatment.
