Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 9 months old. At first, when speaking, he felt a sore throat. He found that his cough was quite severe, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should we treat his tonsillitis if the child is crying?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy, including methods such as crypt irrigation and direct injection of medication into the tonsils. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. For fever below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
