Patient's question:
Female baby, only 5 months old. At first, she said her throat was sore, and it was noticed that her cough was quite severe. Additionally, she had a slight fever. Please ask: How should the treatment be carried out if the child cries and screams due to tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as irrigation or direct medication, to enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, they can take some fever-reducing medication. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During daily life, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet should be the main focus during the treatment period.
