Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 8 months old, just started, felt a sore throat when talking, found that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking, and at the same time, it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should the crying and fussing of infants and young children with tonsillitis be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinses are recommended. Pain relievers can also be provided based on the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, to help alleviate the pain. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Surgery is also a feasible option, particularly for children who experience recurrent episodes. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
