Patient's question:
Female baby, only 3 months old. At first, she said her throat was sore, and it was found to be accompanied by mild coughing. Additionally, she had low fever. Please ask: If the child's tonsils are inflamed and very painful, what treatment is effective?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. If the child has fever symptoms, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent colds that could trigger recurrent tonsillitis.
