Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 8 months old. At first, he said it hurt when he swallowed, and I noticed he had mild coughing, and he was a bit feverish and lacked energy. Please ask: If the child has tonsillitis pain, what treatment works best?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. Local irrigation or topical sprays can also be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic treatment, all of which have good efficacy. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods should be applied. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery early. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
