Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 6 months old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat, noticed it, and seemed to have some difficulty swallowing. At the same time, she has had a slight fever. Please ask: How to treat her tonsillitis well.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them according to symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injections can be supplemented. If the child has a sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be given as needed. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods should be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. For cases with multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
