Patient's question:
Boy, already 1 year old, just started, felt sore throat even when drinking water, found that coughing was quite severe, and had a slight fever all along. Please ask: How should I treat my child's sore tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser treatment can be applied. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child still has a slight fever, appropriate fever reduction measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and primarily consume liquid foods during the treatment period.
