Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 9 months old. At first, her throat felt a bit sore, and then she was found to have severe coughing. Also, it seems like her low fever hasn't gone away. Question: How can the treatment for children's tonsillitis and crying be improved?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used to treat tonsillitis and can be selected as appropriate. Local medications can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt lavage or intratonsillar injections of drugs. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be chosen based on the temperature. If the temperature is below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used. If it is higher than 38.5°C, oral antipyretics should be taken. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently suffers from recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent colds and recurrence of tonsillar inflammation.
