Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 8 months old. At first, it was said that even drinking water made his throat hurt. He noticed it accompanied by mild coughing, and at the same time, it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Please ask: If the child's tonsillitis is causing discomfort, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, you can give your child some symptomatic antibiotic medications. If the child's condition is severe, you can also combine some local treatments, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, you can use pain-relieving medications. If there is a fever, choose a fever-reducing method based on the temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, you can use physical cooling methods. If it's above 38.5 degrees Celsius, you can take oral fever-reducing medication. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During this period, ensure your child gets adequate rest and eats more vegetables and fruits.
