Patient's question:
Baby girl, only one month old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat. She noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke. Additionally, she had a slight fever and wasn't feeling well. Please ask: How can the tonsillitis in the child be treated effectively if it is very painful?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate analgesics can be administered. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention must be sought. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further aggravating symptoms by catching a cold.
