Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 8 months old, just started, felt a sore throat when talking, noticed it, swallowing seems a bit difficult, and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How can the child's tonsillitis be treated effectively when it's uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser treatment can be administered. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication may be considered. If the child also has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering recurrent tonsillitis.
