Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 2 months old. At first, she said she had pain when swallowing things. Later, it was found that her cough seemed to be more severe as well. Now, she has high fever that won't go down.: How should pediatric tonsillitis, which is very painful, be treated?Doctor's answer:
Appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be administered, and local treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation, intra-tonsillar drug injections, and laser therapy can also be performed. If the sore throat is severe, pain relievers can be given accordingly. If the child has a persistent fever, parents should administer antipyretic medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. These methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, especially for children with recurrent episodes. Parents should also ensure their children stay warm to prevent colds that could trigger recurrent tonsillitis.
