Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 7 months old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat, and then it was accompanied by mild coughing. Now, she still has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should I treat severe tonsillitis in young children?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor based on the symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can be combined. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
