Patient's question:
Female baby, only 8 months old, just starting, a little sore throat, found that her voice is a bit hoarse when speaking. Additionally, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can we effectively treat croup caused by tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections may also be used. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If the symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention.In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgery under the guidance of a doctor for treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods. Rest should also be emphasized to avoid fatigue.
