Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned one month old, just starting, feels sore throat when talking, noticed, cough seems to be more severe, and now has high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can tonsillitis in children be treated effectively if it's very painful?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is advised. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, parents may consider giving pain relievers as needed. If the child still has a fever, it is recommended to manage it accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children with recurrent episodes. While undergoing treatment, it is important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional support to aid in early recovery.
