Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned two months old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Meanwhile, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: If the child's tonsils are swollen and very painful, how should the condition 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. Additionally, local treatment can be performed, including tonsil crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. For sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to the child. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child is well-warmed to prevent further worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
