Patient's question:
Female baby, only 5 months old, just starting, saying it hurts when swallowing things, found that coughing seems to be quite severe as well. Additionally, she has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: How can the pain from tonsillitis in the child be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms, or local irrigation or topical sprays can be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic treatment, all of which have good efficacy. If the child's throat pain is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
