Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 9 months old. At first, he said his throat hurts. Upon noticing, his cough is quite severe. Additionally, he has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in infants and young children be treated?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. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the child has a sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. If the child still has a fever, it is advisable to take fever-reducing medication. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis tends to recur, so if similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
