Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 3 months old. At first, she said her throat was sore, and I noticed her cough seemed quite severe as well. Additionally, she had a slight fever and wasn't very energetic. Please ask: How should I treat her tonsillitis if her tonsils are inflamed and swollen?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their children some anti-inflammatory medications. They can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections, which are all good options. In cases of sore throat, children can also be given pain relievers. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medications can be given. If the symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent them from catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
