Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned one month old. At first, he felt a sore throat when talking, and then discovered that his cough was quite severe. Additionally, it seems like his low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How can we effectively treat a child's tonsillitis when they are crying and fussing?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, you can first administer symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child's symptoms. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be applied. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication may be considered. If the child also has a fever, appropriate fever-reducing measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication and treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. While undergoing treatment, it is important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional support to aid in early recovery.
