Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 9 months old. At first, he said it hurt when he swallowed, and I noticed he had mild coughing. At the same time, he also had low fever. Please ask: How should I treat his tonsillitis if it's causing discomfort?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first use some symptomatic antibiotic medication. Local rinsing or local spraying can also be applied, and symptomatic medication can be injected into the tonsils. The efficacy of these methods is quite good. If the child's sore throat is particularly severe, it is recommended to give them pain relievers based on the situation. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also give them fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. In cases where inflammation frequently recurs, surgical treatment can be considered. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help them recover as soon as possible.
