Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 9 months old. At first, she said it hurt to swallow things. Then, it was discovered that her cough was quite severe, and she also had a slight fever and seemed listless. Please ask: How should pharyngitis with tonsillar inflammation be treated in young children for throat pain?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications, or local treatments can be used, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the body temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used; if the temperature is above 38.5°C, oral antipyretics can be administered. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
