Patient's question:
Female baby, only 7 months old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and noticed that her cough seemed to be quite severe as well. Additionally, she had a low fever. Please ask: How should the treatment be for her tonsillitis, which is very painful?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. While taking medication, you can also perform some local treatments, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. Depending on the child's condition, you can also give them pain relievers, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate the discomfort. If the child has a fever, you can consider giving them fever-reducing medication. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
