Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 8 months old, just starting out. When she talks, she feels a sore throat. She also finds that her cough seems quite severe, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should the discomfort of tonsillitis in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. They can also be used locally, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. Additionally, if fever is present, some antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. The above are common treatment methods. However, if a child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
