Patient's question:
Female baby, only 8 months old. At first, she said it hurts to swallow things, and it was noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How can we effectively treat crying and fussing in young children with tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance the therapeutic effect. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. Pain relievers can also be given to the child based on their condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, as this can help alleviate the discomfort. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be selected according to the body temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover more quickly.
