Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 9 months old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and then discovered that his cough was quite severe, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should I treat his tonsillitis if he's crying and fussing?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotics. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child's throat pain is severe, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If the condition does not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention.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. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
