Patient's question:
My son is 7 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and he noticed that his cough was quite severe. Also, it seems like his low-grade fever hasn't gone away. I would like to ask: How can we effectively treat infant tonsillitis, which is very painful?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotics. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the child's sore throat is severe, it is recommended to administer pain relievers based on the situation. If the child also has a fever, it is advisable to take fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. For cases with recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
