How to treat tonsil inflammation and pain in children

Patient's question:

Baby girl, only 3 months old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat. She noticed it, and her coughing became quite severe. Also, it seems like her low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should I treat her tonsillitis if it's painful?

Doctor's answer:

In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local flushing or topical spraying can also be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic treatment, all of which are quite effective. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is advisable to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child still has a fever, it should be treated accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet that is primarily light. It is also necessary to pay attention to getting enough rest and avoid fatigue.
