Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 7 months old, just starting, feels sore throat when talking, found that cough seems to be quite severe, and has been slightly feverish all along. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in children be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or medication injection into the tonsils. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. If the child still has a fever, fever reduction should be considered. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. While treating, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover sooner.
