Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 6 months old. At first, he felt a sore throat when talking and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, he has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: How should tonsillitis be treated when the child is uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, or use local rinsing or topical sprays. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for targeted treatment, all of which are quite effective. Pain relievers can also be given to children based on their condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, as this can help alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
