Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 2 months old, just starting, a little sore in the throat, noticed it, coughing is quite severe, and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How can a child with tonsillitis be treated effectively to relieve discomfort?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be applied. If the child primarily exhibits symptoms of sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider administering pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. For temperatures not exceeding 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be applied. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
