Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 7 months old, just starting, says his throat hurts even when drinking water, found that his cough is quite severe, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: If the child's tonsils are inflamed and painful, how should it be treated for the best effect.Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their children some anti-inflammatory medications. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments can also be used, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc. When necessary, such as when the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is required. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, suitable for children who experience recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods. Rest should also be emphasized to avoid fatigue.
