Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 4 months old, just starting, feels a sore throat when talking, found, accompanied by mild cough, and has had a slight fever all along. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis be diagnosed and treated if they are feeling uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotics. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be applied, such as flushing or direct medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. Pain relievers can be given based on the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, to help alleviate the pain. If the child has persistent fever that doesn't subside, fever-reducing medication can be administered orally. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can consult a doctor and consider surgical treatment under medical supervision. During treatment, it is also important to ensure the child follows a light diet and receives adequate nutritional support to aid in early recovery.
