Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 2 years old. At first, she said even drinking water felt painful in her throat. She noticed that her cough seemed to be quite severe as well, and she had a slight fever and lacked energy. Please ask: How can the sore throat caused by tonsillitis be treated effectively for the child?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. 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 symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. For those accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
