Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 9 months old, just started, a little sore throat, noticed that when speaking, his voice is a bit hoarse, and he's a bit feverish and lacking energy. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis be diagnosed and treated when feeling uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also administer fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. In addition to these medication and treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
