Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 6 months old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat. She noticed that her cough was quite severe, and she has had a slight fever all along. Question: How should I treat her tonsillitis if it's very painful?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be administered, such as tonsillar crypt lavage or intratonsillar drug injection. If the sore throat is particularly severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has been running a fever continuously, parents can also administer fever-reducing medication or immediately take the child to the hospital. For those who experience multiple acute severe episodes or have already developed complications, it is recommended to undergo tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with ample nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods. Additionally, adequate rest should be ensured to avoid fatigue.
