Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 2 months old. At first, she said drinking water made her throat hurt, and she noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Also, it seemed like her low-grade fever never went away. Please ask: How to diagnose and treat pediatric tonsillitis with sore throat?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. Local treatment methods can also be used in combination, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections, which are both effective. If the child has a severe sore throat, appropriate pain-relieving medication can be administered. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be chosen based on the body temperature: physical cooling methods are suitable for temperatures below 38.5°C, while oral fever reducers can be used for temperatures above 38.5°C. These methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children who experience recurrent episodes. Lastly, parents should take this condition seriously, take their children to a doctor for early treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
