Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 8 months old. At first, she felt pain in her throat even when drinking water, and she noticed that her cough seemed to be more severe as well, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How to treat crying and fussing in young children with tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. While taking medication, local treatments such as rinsing or direct application of medication can also be performed to enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child's main symptom is a sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also administer fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
