Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 9 months old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and then noticed that his cough seemed to be getting worse. Now, he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. While taking medication, local treatments can also be applied, such as rinsing or direct application of medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. Pain relievers may be given when necessary, especially if a child has severe sore throat. If the child also has a fever, antipyretics can be taken on a case-by-case basis. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is prone to recurrence, so if similar symptoms occur again after the inflammation is controlled, surgery may be considered. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
