Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 9 months old. At first, her throat felt a bit sore. She noticed that her cough seemed to be quite severe as well, and she had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How should we diagnose and treat her tonsillitis, which is very painful?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 based on symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection can also be performed. Pain relievers can be given to children depending on their condition, especially when throat pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. If the child still has a fever, it should be managed appropriately, and if the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. For children with multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Finally, parents should pay attention to this disease, take their children to the doctor for early treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
