Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 6 months old. At first, she felt a sore throat when talking, and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. At the same time, it seemed like her low-grade fever never went away. Please ask: How can tonsillitis in young children be treated effectively if it is very painful?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, some antipyretic drugs can be taken orally. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar cases occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further symptoms from worsening due to cold exposure.
