Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 9 months old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and I noticed that his cough seems to be quite severe as well. Additionally, it seems like his low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should one treat a child's tonsillitis when it's causing discomfort?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given based on the child's symptoms. Local flushing or local spraying can also be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic treatment, all of which have good efficacy. When necessary, such as when the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. If the child still has a fever, it should be managed accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and a liquid diet should be the main focus during treatment.
