Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 4 months old. At first, she felt sore throat even when drinking water, noticed it accompanied by mild cough, and also had low fever. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated well?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be administered based on the child's symptoms. Local treatments are also available, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers are recommended to alleviate the symptoms. If the child also has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children who experience recurrent episodes. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate physical activity to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
