Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 3 months old, just starting to say swallowing hurts, noticed that coughing is quite severe. Also, it seems like the low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should pharyngeal tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in young children?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. While taking the medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as irrigation or direct application of medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use pain-relieving medication to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods. Additionally, sufficient rest should be ensured to avoid fatigue.
