Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 5 months old. At first, he felt a sore throat when talking, and then discovered it was accompanied by mild coughing. Also, he had a slight fever and wasn't very energetic. Please ask: How can we effectively treat a child's tonsillitis when they are crying and fussing?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be applied locally. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medications may be considered. Furthermore, if fever is present, fever-reducing drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, early surgical intervention is recommended. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
