Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 6 months old. At first, when speaking, he felt a sore throat. He noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when talking, and it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Please ask: If the child's tonsils are inflamed and very painful, how can it be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications, or local treatments can be applied, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injections. Pain relievers can also be administered based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. If the child has fever symptoms, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
