Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 7 months old, just started, felt a sore throat when talking, noticed it, coughing is quite severe, and at the same time, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in infants and young children be treated?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be applied. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be employed. If your child frequently experiences such conditions, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
