Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 5 months old, just starting, feels sore throat even when drinking water, found that coughing is quite severe, and now has high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How to treat pediatric tonsillitis when it's uncomfortable.Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis, parents can first give their child anti-inflammatory medication to eat, or perform local irrigation or local spraying. Tonsillar injections can also be administered with symptomatic medication, and the efficacy is quite good. If the child's sore throat is severe, it is recommended to give pain relievers based on the situation. If the child has persistent fever, promptly use fever-reducing medication. For fever not exceeding 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be applied. In cases of multiple acute severe episodes or complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Lastly, parents should pay attention to this disease and take their child to the doctor for early treatment. Daily, attention should also be paid to related prevention and health care measures.
