Patient's question:
Female baby, only 8 months old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat, and then discovered it was accompanied by mild coughing. Additionally, she has had a low-grade fever. Please ask: How can the discomfort of tonsillitis in children be effectively treated?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor, or use local medications, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If there is a fever, the method of cooling down should be chosen based on the body temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral antipyretics can be taken. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery as early as possible. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
