Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 7 months old. At first, he said it hurt to swallow things, and it was discovered that it was accompanied by mild coughing, and also accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How can tonsillitis in children be very painful and treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child anti-inflammatory medication. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance the efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the child has a severe sore throat, appropriate pain-relieving medication can be given. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be selected based on the body temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used; above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication should be administered. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
