Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 2 months old, just starting, felt a sore throat when talking, found that coughing is quite severe, and it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Question: How should I treat tonsillitis in children if it's very painful?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers are advised to alleviate the symptoms. Moreover, if fever is present, fever-reducing medication can also be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly for children who experience recurrent episodes. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent them from catching a cold and triggering another episode of tonsillitis.
