Patient's question:
Female baby, only 4 months old. At first, she felt pain in her throat even when drinking water. It was discovered that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. At the same time, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and throat pain in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
First, for the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, parents can give their children some anti-inflammatory medications. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to alleviate the symptoms. If the child still has a slight fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, urgent medical attention is necessary. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During this period, ensure the child gets sufficient rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
