Patient's question:
Female baby, only 6 months old. At first, she felt pain in her throat even when drinking water. She was also found to have mild coughing, and it seemed like her low fever never subsided. Please ask: How can the baby's tonsillitis be treated effectively when she is uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered, or local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can be used. For sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to children. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods can be applied. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider early surgery. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
