Patient's question:
Female baby, only 5 months old. At first, she said that even drinking water felt painful in her throat. She also found that her cough seemed quite severe, and she had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How can the pain from tonsillitis in the child be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. They can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc., which are all good options. If the child's throat pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and eats more fruits and vegetables.
