Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned one month old. At first, he felt a sore throat when talking, noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and also had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How should I treat my child's tonsillitis if he's crying and fussing?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and intratonsillar medication can also be used. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents can administer pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. 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.In addition to the above drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods. Rest is also crucial, and fatigue should be avoided.
