Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 5 months old, just started, said her throat hurts, noticed it, accompanied by mild cough, and now she has high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can the tonsillitis be treated effectively if the child's tonsils are inflamed and painful.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. Local treatments can also be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to provide pain relievers based on the situation. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage appropriate exercise for the child to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
