Patient's question:
Female baby, only 3 months old, just starting, says her throat hurts even when drinking water. She noticed that her cough is quite severe, and at the same time, her high fever hasn't subsided yet. Please ask: How to treat red and swollen tonsils in children effectively.Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, as they can help alleviate the pain. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly suitable for children with recurrent episodes. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
