Patient's question:
Girl baby, 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 wasn't very energetic. Please ask: How should pharyngitis with tonsillitis in young children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications, or local treatments can be applied, 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 temperature: physical cooling methods can be used for temperatures below 38.5°C, while oral fever-reducing medications can be given for temperatures above 38.5°C. 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.
