Patient's question:
My little girl is 1 year old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse. Additionally, she had a low fever. Please advise: How should I treat her tonsillitis if she is uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotics. They can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc., which are all good options. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, as they can help alleviate the suffering. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. If the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be applied. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, take the child to the doctor for treatment as soon as possible, and also pay attention to doing well in related prevention and health care work during daily life.
