Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 9 months old. At first, she said even drinking water with her throat felt painful. She noticed that her voice sounded a bit hoarse when she spoke, and she had been running a slight fever. Please ask: How to treat a very painful tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. While taking medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can help reinforce the therapeutic effect. If the child's main symptom is a sore throat, parents may consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever, it is advisable to use fever-reducing medication. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents may also choose surgery for treatment under the guidance of a doctor. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
