Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 8 months old, just started, said it hurts to swallow things, noticed that her voice is a bit hoarse when speaking, and now she has high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with crying and fussing be treated?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotics, and local treatment methods can also be combined. For example, tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar medication injections are all good options. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius. In cases of multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods, and to ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
