Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 8 months old, just started, a little sore throat, found that coughing is quite severe, and also accompanied by low fever. Please ask: if the child's tonsillitis is uncomfortable, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injection. When necessary, such as when the child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can also be given. Additionally, if fever is present, some fever-reducing medication can be taken. For high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
