Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 3 months old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and then discovered that his cough seems to be quite severe as well. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should the diagnosis and treatment be handled if the child's tonsils are inflamed and crying?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection can also be performed. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child still has a fever, it is advisable to consider fever reduction. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children to the hospital for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
