Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 7 months old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat. She noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. At the same time, she had a slight fever and wasn't very energetic. Please ask: If the child has tonsillitis and it hurts a lot, how should it be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. For local treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or medication rinsing. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be chosen based on the body temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used; if above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If there is a condition of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
