Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 7 months old. At first, he said his throat hurts. Upon noticing, his cough is quite severe, and he also has a low fever. Please ask: If the child develops tonsillitis and it's very painful, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injection. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving some pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medication or immediately take the child to the hospital. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to ensure the child has a light diet and adequate nutritional support to help them recover as soon as possible.
