Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 7 months old. At first, her throat felt a bit sore, and she was found to have a slightly hoarse voice when speaking. Meanwhile, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How to treat pediatric tonsillitis effectively when it's uncomfortable.Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. It can also be combined with local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication, which are all effective. When necessary, such as when the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be administered. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be given. If symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention.In addition to these medications and treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
