Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 1 year old. At first, she felt pain even when drinking water, realizing that her cough seemed to be more severe as well. Now, she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should pharyngitis and tonsillitis in young children be treated effectively?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. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injection. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be administered promptly. Physical cooling methods can be used if the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius. These are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
