Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 9 months old. At first, she felt pain even when drinking water, and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Also, it seemed like her low fever never went away. Please ask: How should pharyngitis in young children be treated when they cry and fuss?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and intratonsillar medication can also be used. If the child has a sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be given as needed. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used in a timely manner. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
