Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 4 months old, just starting, feels a sore throat when talking, found that his voice is a bit hoarse when speaking, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How can the tonsillitis of the child be treated effectively if it is very painful.Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be administered based on the child's symptoms. While systemic treatment is ongoing, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods should be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods. Additionally, sufficient rest should be ensured to avoid fatigue.
