Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 4 months old. At first, he felt a sore throat when talking and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, he had a low fever. Question: How can the treatment for the baby's tonsillitis be most effective if it's very painful?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it's pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Additionally, local treatments can be administered, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can give fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
