Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 9 months old. At first, he said his throat hurts. Upon noticing, he also has mild coughing, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can we effectively treat crying infants and toddlers with tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is advised. If the child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can be given based on the situation. For children with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods should be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider surgery as early as possible. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
