Patient's question:
My male baby is 1 year old. At first, when he spoke, he felt a sore throat. It was found that his cough seemed to be more severe as well. At the same time, he had been slightly feverish. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated when it is uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. While taking the medication, local treatments such as rinsing or applying medication directly can also be performed to enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, parents are advised to consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, focusing on a light diet, and ensuring sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
