Patient's question:
My little girl is 1 year old. At first, she had a slight sore throat, and then I noticed she had severe coughing. Additionally, she had low-grade fever. I would like to ask: How should I treat her tonsillitis pain for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injection. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help relieve 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. For cases with recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
