How to treat tonsillitis effectively when children feel uncomfortable

Patient's question:

Baby girl, only 7 months old, just starting. Says even drinking water feels painful in her throat. Noticed she has severe coughing and also a low fever. Please ask: How can you effectively treat a child's tonsillitis when it's painful?

Doctor's answer:

When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotics, and can also be supplemented with local treatment methods, such as tonsil crypt rinsing, tonsil injections, etc., which are all quite good. If the child's throat pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child still has a slight fever, then fever reduction should be considered. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, emergency medical attention is necessary. The above are commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider early surgery. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
