Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 5 months old, just starting, feels a sore throat when talking, notices it, accompanied by mild cough, and has been slightly feverish all along. Please ask: How should the child be treated if tonsillitis occurs?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child also has a fever, it is advisable to take fever-reducing medication. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional support to aid in early recovery.
