Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 9 months old, just started, said his throat hurts, found that his cough is quite severe, and also, his high fever hasn't subsided yet. Please ask: If the child has very painful tonsillitis, how should it be treated.Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given based on the child's symptoms, or local medications can be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is below 38.5°C. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. During daily life, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet should be the main focus during treatment.
