Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 4 months old. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was found that his cough is quite severe, and he also has a low fever. Please ask: If the child's tonsillitis is very painful, how should it be treated properly.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. For local treatment, laser therapy or medicinal rinsing is recommended. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, to help alleviate the pain. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent colds that could trigger a recurrence of tonsillitis.
