Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 5 months old, just starting, saying her throat hurts. Found that her cough seems quite severe, and it seems like her low fever hasn't gone away either. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
Appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be administered. While systemic treatment is ongoing, local treatments can also be chosen to enhance efficacy, including crypt irrigation and direct injection of medication into the tonsils. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers are recommended to alleviate the discomfort. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, prompt medical attention is necessary. In addition to these drug treatments, if a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be considered. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
