Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 5 months old. At first, she said that even drinking water made her throat hurt. She was found to have some difficulty swallowing. Additionally, she had a low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in children be treated to be most effective when they cry and fuss?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child has been feverish for an extended period, parents can administer fever-reducing medications or immediately take the child to the hospital. These are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
