Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 5 months old, just started, a little sore throat, noticed, accompanied by mild cough, and it seems like a low fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis be diagnosed and treated if it's very painful in children?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. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or medication injections can also be used. If the child has a sore throat, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken, but if it persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is known for its recurrent nature. If similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
