Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 8 months old. At first, he said his throat felt painful even when drinking water. He noticed that his cough was quite severe, and he had been slightly feverish all along. Please ask: If the child's tonsillitis is very painful, how should it be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor based on the symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can be combined. If the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be given according to the situation. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, antipyretic drugs can be taken orally. If the drug efficacy is poor and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent further worsening of symptoms due to cold.
