Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 2 months old, just started, says his throat hurts even when drinking water, found that accompanied by mild cough, and it seems like a low fever that hasn't gone away, please ask: How is it best to treat pediatric tonsil inflammation and swelling?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc., which are all good options. If the child's throat pain is severe, appropriate pain-relieving medication can be given. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. In cases of multiple acute severe episodes or complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
