Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 9 months old. At first, when speaking, he felt a sore throat, noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when talking. Also, he has had a slight fever all along. Please ask: How can the inflammation and swelling of the tonsils in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as appropriate. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injections may also be used. If the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be given based on the situation. Persistent fever should be treated with antipyretics, and physical cooling methods can be used if the temperature is below 38.5°C. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
