Patient's question:
Female baby, only 4 months old, just starting out. When speaking, she feels a sore throat. She notices it, and swallowing seems a bit difficult. At the same time, she already has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can tonsillitis in children be effectively treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. In cases of sore throat, children can also be given pain relievers. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further aggravation of symptoms due to cold exposure.
