Patient's question:
Female baby, only 3 months old. At first, her throat felt a bit sore. She noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke. At the same time, she had been slightly feverish. Please ask: How can tonsillitis in children be treated effectively for pain relief?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is childhood tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be effective. For local treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or medication rinsing. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be selected based on the temperature: for below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used; for above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral antipyretic medication can be taken. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If there are similar cases, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
